Everytime I run a game a bunch of Browser windows pop up

[Booya]

Rescently everytime I run a game through steam a bunch of Firefox windows pop up and keep minimizing my game window. Mozilla Firefox is my default web browser and it just opens up to the google homepage. I tried it with different games in my library and they all had the same issue, but when I ran skyrim through the SKSE(Skyrim Script Extender) I didn't have this problem. I tried restarting my computer and running a virus check. I already searched this up on the internet and no results came up so if you guys could help me out I would really apreciate it. Additional informatipn listed below


-I rescently installed a mod for Civilization 5 (Before the happenings)

-I have windows 7

how about trying to uninstall firefox and then start a game and then reinstall firefox later ?
edit..where did you get the civ 5 mod from ?

[Booya]

I'll give it a try but I doubt it'll work. I tried changing my default broswer but it just opened up that browser instead

Your PC infected with adware. Adware is not a virus, and not detected by most AV. You will use anti-rootkits like hijackthis, avz, etc.

for running avz with eng interface you need make an plain txt file - avz.loc with content:
[Main]
Lang=EN
[EN]
Font=Arial
CharSet=255
when you run make backup of settings File -> Backup -> check all - OK
if there are problems, you can return to your old settings, they are saved in the Backup \% current data (Year-Month-Day)%

even if you will be using for the report hjt, make a backup of settings using avz - other programs do not have this capability.
