I bought an ASUS awhile back; it's perhaps the worst purchase I've ever made (if I ignore the bottle of Saki that smelled like dirty socks, that is) - so sue me, Asus!
I call it an "ad machine." Everywhere I click (on the scroll bar, mostly) it brings up pages advertising this or that (not just popups, but entire pages in separate browser instances).
Worse yet, perhaps, lately it has taken to NOT following legitimate links; I'll open a page, click on one of its links, and it won't go to it. I have to F5 the page to get the "linkiness" of the link back.
The machine was cheap; perhaps I should have known better ("you get what you pay for").
I am running "Windows 10 Home" and these are some details about the machine:
Manufacturer: ASUSTek Computer INc.
Model: X555LAB
Processor: Intel Core i3-5020U CPU @ 2.20GHz 2.20 GHz
RAM: 4.00 GB
System type: 64-bit OS, x64-based processor
Besides being a "buyer beware" I would also like to know if there is something I can do to turn off the rogue link clicking as well as muting of "real" links - some setting I can toggle or such?
