I am a bit reluctant to open such a broad issue but this issue is happening over and over again.

I can be watching a video, browsing, or opening a new tab and suddenly a new tab is opened with an ad to the same website. The website is 

https://us.shein.com/style/Glamorous-Dresses-sc-00100595.html?utm_source=popads.net&utm_medium=cpm&url_from=popadsus_20190320_LuxeDress

I have cleared caches, deleted cookies, restarted my computer, and updated filters on uBo.

I have never had this happen before and I am at a complete loss as to how this is happening. Any thoughts?

Thank you, AD uBo Version 1.31.0 Google Chrome Version 87.0.4280.88

You have to provide the previous page where when clicking you get redirected to this one

aldiener58 commented 3 years ago

@mapx- I have no previous page because sometimes it simply open a new tab without exhibiting any pattern. I will keep an eye out for the next time to see what I was doing just before. I wish I had more information to provide :-) If you want, I will delete the post and wait until I have more information to share.

In this case could be your system is infested by some malware or .. did you install some other extension recently ?

aldiener58 commented 3 years ago

I have added no new extensions and I only have LastPass and uBo running. @mapx- I expect you are right and it is tied to some action I am taking even though it may appear random. I will keep looking for more information. It has not happened again since I wrote :-)

You should scan your system for malware, use: https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/
