How to stop unwanted site appearing
Hi,I hope someone can answer this question.When i close Palemoon it leaves another window open with a web address "Funkyclock,which is a scam site.I have tried deleting Palemoon and reloading,but it makes no difference.Just to recap,when i close Palemoon another window opens "Funkyclock" I don't think it's doing anything nasty,but it's just annoying.Please can anybody help
Re: How to stop unwanted site appearing
Sounds like your computer is infected with adware. Uninstalling and reinstalling Palemoon won't help, because Palemoon isn't the problem. Update your antivirus and whatever other antimalware you've got, and start doing some scans.

You should still run a scan for malware, just deleting the stuff doesn't mean that you got rid of the crap. Maybe you just removed the symptom and not the actual cause of the problem.

You should use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, here: https://www.malwarebytes.org/
With Pale Moon by my side, surfing the web is quite enjoyable and takes my headaches away!
