On a Windows 10 startup, firefox start automaticaly loading two pages that I have never visited before.
Without starting the browser, it opens by itself, and start two pages that I have never visited before:
1. Restore sesion - Sorry. We’re having trouble getting your pages back. 2. http://www.141788217756483.update-your-pc.info/ - in the stated order.
Firefox is my default browser, start with windows startup is disabled, and this two pages are always the same, but i have never visited the update page and it looks like spam to me, as it shows article related to my work (always the same article), and again, I have never searched for the exact topic that is in the article ("How to draw a polygon in AutoCad", but I work as a CAD designer, so I have searched other similar topics... ).
Please see the attached images.
Also in Task Manager >>Details, I see this 4 processes (firefox.exe) running from the start of Windows - please see the third attached photo. Note: on the photo they are more than 4, that's because I have already opened few other tabs. From the start it was 4 of them.
Thanks for trying to help! Regards, Ivan.
