I recently noticed by using chrome browser and steam that tabs keep being opened on their own with some adverts.

Its annoying and I do not know what is going on. I have an antivirus installed, reinstalled my system 3 times and yet it still comes up.

Whenever I go into steam and go to the store,pick a game that is where steam browser window opens up. Sometimes it happens in the chrome as well.

I honestly exhausted all possibilities right now. Can anyone help?

!Update!

Fixed this problem... I realised all my devices and phones had this problem so I went into router settings and the Domain Name Server (DNS) Address was set to manual for some reason. Have no idea why it was like that but I had it changed to Get Automatically From ISP. No more pop ups

Ok I dont know how this might be possible but I just noticed the same thing happens on all the devices in my house. My pc,my laptop, iphone and ipad... They are all connected to the router. It seems like the problem is with the router
