A few days ago, I started up my laptop, walked away for a bit, and it went into sleep mode.
I logged in and noticed my Chrome was open. Blank white window, but it said “Simple Solitaire”, and had the static.pubfinity address.
Im seeing this has been reported a few times in the last month or so, and it looks to be some form of malware.
I uninstalled Solitaire, downloaded Malwarebytes, and ran a scan. Came back clean.
Zero issues since then. But I’m not satisfied. I’m sure this sucker is still lurking. I already moved my important files to a thumb drive.
Next steps? Thanks!

Thank you for the fast reply Maurice. I will have some time to work on this between tonight and tomorrow, and will get back to you.
