Hi there

I assume you are installed some plugins for Chrome or other Internet browser,if yes or not,just go to the Extensions in Chrome(they're under Settings) or other browser will be under extension,I would disable few of them and check which can cause,in my brother case this caused VipBox extension

And this should help too

will probably a site you visited, I had it a while back never believed it until it happened to me. opening a hacked site that has an exploit is enough to knacker your computer

Found out it was an add on for firefox, managed to disable it easy enough, but yea since I never personally enabled it I shoulden't have had to disable it.

Yes usually are extensions/add ons which causing this

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware usually will not recognize this,I never tried with Spybot if he can recognize this
