    Hello, I am running Windows 10. I have an updated premium Antivirus running and haven't had an issue in a very long time until recently. I noticed slowness in my browser, and then randomly when I click on a link in Chrome, I get redirected to a web URL below (I added spaces to the URL so it won't be an active link)
    https: // rx-24-online .com
    It is a pharmacy website, I have never deliberately gone to this URL. It happens at random times when using Chrome.
    I deleted all the Chrome History. And I also checked Chrome Extensions, Installed programs, and the Registry, but I don't see anything suspcious.
    I know some will run various check fix programs and post logs here. But at this stage, I just wanted to see if I can get some general feedback, how to resolve/how to prevent. Thanks very much for any info.

    I can't give you that advice without seeing the logs that are requested in the Read and Run First Instructions.

    ok thanks very much.No worries. I won't be able to post the logs at this time. I will keep searching and if I find a solution I will post it here. I just figured someone else might have had a similar issue of Chrome Browser URL Hijack and how they resolved/how they prevented it. Ordinarily I would do a system rebuild or more intensive search on my computer, but I just don't have time right now.
