Well, yesterday I found my homepage was taken over by a uncertain stuff thing called Securepaynet.net. It is very crazy and frequent to redirect me to this page. I tried to change my homepage in Google Chrome setting, but it didn’t work at all. And I wonder if my computer is infected with some virus, so I run antivirus scanner to have a check, but it didn’t report anything suspicious. Tons of advertisements continuously pop up especially I made online shopping, and no matter what I search, I didn’t get the right search result but access another page instead. It is very annoying and frustrates me a lot. Can someone help me please? Thanks in advance here!
