I am taken to a new window with advertisement when I click on stuff on the site. Is this expected or I got some kind of addware? Only happens here.   DAZ STUDIO USER SINCE 2006

I'd go on a limb and say run a malwarebytes and flush cookies. you can also clean up tracking cookies with superantispyware. "That was fun. Let's do it again."

Agree with Simon T
to my knowledge this site has never allowed 3rd site parties to advertise or attach themselves to anyone who visits here.
if you have Antivirus software run in if using Windows run their own Windows Defender program to root out any malicious virus Who knows what lurks in the hearts of perverted artist....

Helboy you definatly need to run a maleware program and get all the markers out of your system, that last one I am very familiar with it is Hacker ware, it allows the owner of the hacker ware to track you and your habits, and even get into your system. This is usualy done these days by those scam callers that tell you there is a problem with your computer. The key here is dating&clickid &device, these are what gets stored on your computer, then it will ID your computer with Desktop&brand, this tells them what you are running, along with the Desktop&model. the last one is what is known as the catcher, it allows them to get what is known in the hacking world as your system ID#, this is the header in which all your data moves from your computer to a known computer to identify your system to the known computer, like the one you use to upload your items for sale to the computer that Renderotica uses to accept your uploads. the part that starts with CR&affid to es&cid are further reference to your header information on your CPU. And of course thetre is your internet info like your IP address, and what internet program you use Chrome. It seems to have a piece missing though the end of header marker. Know you may ask how do I know this, Well over the many many years that I have been involved with computers and networking systems, I became what in the industry is known as a Corporate Hacker, I would go into other peoples computers and peek around and see what is what and then secure the system. And my son, the youngest one got this very same MIM (Man in the Middle) software on his computer. it took a lot of work to get it off his system. My Question now is how long has this been going on for you? I'm here for the donuts.....
Where are they??

Thanks, that's scary :/
I first noticed it the day of my first post in this thread. Been away since then, and then today again, exclusively here at Renderotica.
Any suggestions? I only use Malwarebytes, but it didn't catched anything.
Thank you. DAZ STUDIO USER SINCE 2006

OK looking at MalwareBytes I have the pro version if you do not have the free version try this. In settings check to see if Scan for rootkits is active if not activate it. Then check that Use expert system algorithms to identify malicious files is on. if not turn that on. then in exploit protection set Block penetration testing attacks to on as well. Then run an independent scan of the entire system. This should help find the culprits, and get rid of them... The problem is it is easier to just start over again, the other method requires that you have a good knowledge of the registry system. and how things are stored. You could also use a online virus program. I do not reccomend using windows defender as it does a lesser job than MalwareBytes free version. here is the address for it, hopefully no one thinks it is a bad thing. https://www.trendmicro.c.../products/housecall.htmlI'm here for the donuts.....

Hellboy are you using an cable company for internet access. I say this as a lot of cable internet programs now offer free Virus software.
I have a bundle package from Spectrum I get cable, Internet 100 MBPS Wifi and digital phone. They used to offer mcafee for free but now have a new in house system called F secure and wow is it effective..
Another software I like is Kaperski.. they have special features like Internet brpwser add blocker, and for financial sites they have a thing called Safe Money.. what this is is when you go to any financial institution like your bank's website copy the link, exit and go to the Kaperski Safe Money icon and add the link, then the next time you go to the banks site Safe Money double encrypts the connection.
Bad thing here is Kaperski hates Malwaybytes. But My f Secure from Spectrum works with it for a double layer of virus and spam
As mentioned there are some rootkit cleaners that also double as Virus software I used them for two years but they always kept jacking up the price and changing the name
Just suggestions mind you,

Nope, nothing worked. Renderotica is still redirecting me to spam on every click. No big deal, thanks for the suggestions. DAZ STUDIO USER SINCE 2006

I hate to sound like a Nervous Nellie, but if this is the same browser you do online banking, pay bills, or do online shopping from, it could become a very big deal soon.
I don't know what to recommend except uninstall the browser and use a utility like Ccleaner to make sure it's completely uninstalled (registry entries, config files, etc). Then run the best malware scanner you can find.
It's happened to me a few times over the decades. My last browser hijacking was years ago, so I don't know what the best utilities are nowadays.
