So, for some time, I have been noticing the constant "redirections" to seemigly malicious/Adware sites.
For example, while Googling something, I pick a result from the Search page and when opening in newtab, it will rediect to(sometimes) a site totally different, unheard, and Ad-filled.

The other problem is the sponsored links with common keywords on sites that would never have them. Here is a screenshot(ADs on superuser.com-Impossible!!)

  • MalwareBytes Anti-Malware Home Premium (with PUP and Rootkits Checked)[Updated]
  • AdBlock Plus for Firefox(updated) with Popup Plugin.
  • Block Site Add-on
  • Microsoft Security Essentials
    And the following:
    Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium x64
