I think my computer is infected with something.
I think my computer is infected, but I don't know what it is. I recently installed a video game and connected my friend's iphone to my computer and that's around when the problem started happening. What would happen is when I would open a new tab from a link in firefox, it would show me a different site. This sometimes would happen when I open in a new window. Any idea how to find out and correct this problem? Also, I installed that same game on a different computer, so I'm worried about that computer too.
