I am completely illiterate about any and all of this, just wanted to mention what’s been happening when I’m on facebook. Multiple pages open up, 15 to 20 sometimes, of anything I scroll past on facebook, ads, pictures someone posts, anything. It seemed to only be when I was on fb but about 20 minutes ago I opened a link someone posted on here, on another thread, and 2 additional pages of the same link opened up. Not sure if it indicates a hack or what and no idea how to stop it.
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop, given to me by a friend, and Windows 10. I use Firefox for a browser and a couple of months ago switched to DuckDuckGo for a search engine, had google before that.
Thanks..and sorry for posting a possible unrelated issue.

Download the FREE CCleaner.
When installing CCleaner, DO NOT ALLOW any extras - included package such as Google Chrome or some anti-virus application, to also install.
You only want CCleaner.
So, when installing CCleaner, read each window (that you can) that presents info re the installing process.
You do not need CCleaner Pro, nor a “cloud” feature/connection.
CCleaner is valuable for one objective: cleaning cache files and removing run-of-the-mill cookies.

Run CCleaner at least once, every day that you use your Lenovo ThinkPad. Then restart your computer.
