Might also be wise to run a few cleaner apps too; as likely you may have a pest (or more) hanging about... Download and run the following. Install each using the manual/custom option - NOT the default automatic. Watch for and uncheck any pre checked boxes - other than the actual utility itself. This way you avoid acquiring all manner of stuff - pests, nuisances and changes - you neither need nor want Some of those are true pain to eradicate. All of the following are free, safe to use; regularly recommended here. adwcleaner: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/dow... Junkware Removal Tool (JRT): http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/dow... Malwarebytes: http://filehippo.com/download_malwa... ccleaner: http://filehippo.com/download_cclea... JRT instals to the desktop from where you run it. It opens into a small window, follow the instructions therein. It will reboot the system as part of its process. Retain any logs for possible further use/consultation - not the least by one or two others here who are very much up on pest removal; more so than am I.

Same problem every time I visited a particular web site.

"Only when you visit that website? If so may we inquire which one it is?

eq2.wikia.com gives that file for one...

Much of a similar mind to phil22, who I think regards it with suspicion; which is why I suggested the utilities in my first respnse. Have you run them all?
