SL Adware Virus?

[DemonZaku]

Every time I try to use the Search Engine in Second Life to find and explore new areas, my browser is opened and filled to the brim with adware and shady sites! I Have antivirus and popup block on and I have also tried Firestorm as well as the normal SL Viewer. Second Life is impossible to enjoy now! HELP ME!

You might want to check that your system is free from malicious software.

An application like MalwareBytes is designed to help identify, quarantine and remove 'adware' installed onto your PC - the type that intrude in *any* browser instance, not just Second Life's browser. These ads are not caused by the pages you're viewing, your PC could be adding them due to installed malicious adware.

As far as I'm aware, the in-world browser doesn't act like this on its own.
