Why are some websites allowed in browser window without being selected, like http://159.89.80.249/asr4/?a=10012592&campid=46#

This website appears in browser window without clicking on anything. It just appears with audio and replaces the website I was looking at in the same tab.. Why and how? If I copy the url and load in a separate tab, THEN I get the FF warning "Deceptive site ahead" - seems a little backward. What can I do to keep this phishing page from loading spontaneously?

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.

Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.

Make sure you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
