Hey,
Earlier today I clicked a link at Facebook, and now every time I click on something, a new tab with weird adds (different things) opens.
I already checked the extensions in Safari but there isn't anything. I also removed my history and ran a deep system scan from Bitdefender but that also didn't give anything.
Help?! 😐

This can happen if adware is installed without your knowledge.
1. Use free AdwareMedic to remove adware

Install , open, and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button to remove adware.
Once done, quit AdwareMedic.
or
Remove the adware manually by following the “HowTo” from Apple.

2. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
Turn those off and relaunch Safari.
Turn those on one by one and test.

Usually something like this can be fixed by doing a fresh install of OSX to remove the malware.

Only on Facebook, or on other sites as well?
On every thing by now... at least Safari. (I mean I clicked on reply and it opened a tab......)
