Very often, a random tab opens on Google. After clicking the tab, it says "This Web Is Not Available". These tabs appear randomly throughout the day whenever I am using Google. The tab only says "feoosheod.com" and nothing else. Upon looking this domain up, I found no info, only the site "feoosheod.site". After attempting to open this web, my Anti-Virus warned me and instantly blocked the connection for "Possible Scam". If it was a one-time thing, I wouldn't be worried. However, this has been happening a bit too much. I even checked for viruses and found nothing. Does anyone know what could have caused this? And if yes, how can I stop it?
Run a malware scan on your computer. You may need to download an anti-malware app to be able to catch whatever infected your Chrome browser. Antivirus apps do not catch all malware in filesystems. Also, a complete system scan should be done for infections by any virus or malware scanner when doing scans for browser infections.
Are there any good, effective, and mainly free anti-malware programs? I'm afraid I cannot afford to buy any of the better ones, so I am looking for free options, but I don't know where to look.
Malwarebytes is a terrific free program. You can also buy a better version. When you install it, it usually offers a paid version for two weeks. No credit card information is necessary. Trial version. Choose that and do a full scan. In my opinion, it is one of the best out there. CCleaner is also great to get rid of cookies, temp files,etc.
When you say Google, do you mean Google's Chrome browser or Google search engine with your browser? I would try another browser (Firefox and Brave are great browsers) or change search engine to another one (Duckduckgo perhaps) within Chrome browser and see if this issue repeats.

Oh thank you so much! Third time is the charm, and after neither me nor windows system check found any problems, Malwarebytes found the files and got rid of them. So far, it's been 10 minutes without any new tab or popup. Thanks again!
