I noticed after unsubscribing from a junk mail, not sure this was a good idea, when I did a Google search using Chromium Web browser, the results page showed up, but very quickly before I could click on a url, the page I was on was redirected to
https://search.interactivesplash.com/no-results.php



with a yellow square and a black circle inside it and a black triangle pointing to the right inside the circle on the tab. I believe a piece of code was imported to make this happen. I am wondering if anyone knows how to eliminate this code to prevent this from happening anymore? Thank you

    Disable all add-ons in Chromium and try again. Does the issue persist?

Resetting Chrome also worked for me (so far!)



You can reset Chrome by clicking the three control dots on he upper right side of the browser window. Click on settings, then click on advanced. Scroll all the way down to the bottom. There, you will see the option to reset the browser. This will reset your startup page, new tab page, search engine, and pinned tabs. It will also disable all extensions and clear temporary data like cookies. Your bookmarks, history and saved passwords will not be cleared.

    I had the same issue, and tested my browser extensions one-by-one and found the culprit:



    Flash Playlist 1.1.8
    Flash player allows you to run your favorite flash files on any website


    It looks like this extension is malware and has been removed from the Chrome Web Store. Delete it from your extensions list ASAP.
