In_Correct Posted May 9, 2016 ID:1038840 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I have this annoying useless unwanted feature that moves down on the top center of the player. It has a "Pop Out" link, which displays a second copy of the video?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
In_Correct Posted May 9, 2016 Author ID:1038841 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Is This Malware? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted May 9, 2016 ID:1038843 Share Posted May 9, 2016 It doesn't look like normal behavior to me. Yes, YouTube will show you a preview of the video if you move your cursor along the timer (like shown in the screenshot below), but not in the way yours shows. Does it happens in any other web browsers? Which one are you using right now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
In_Correct Posted May 9, 2016 Author ID:1038844 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I forgot to mention this is on only one of my computers and none of my other computers. Even when it is the same browser but it only shows up on one of them. The browser is Opera which is basically a No Frills version of Google Chrome. I tried YouTube with FireFox (including on the same computer with the suspicious YouTube behaviour) and it does not appear on FireFox. Previewing should be as you described, only on the Timer Bar. And Pop Out should only be the two buttons on the bottom right corner: Enlarge and Full Screen. Clicking the thing on the top center displays the duplicate video, which has two buttons even though they do the same thing (they both close the duplicate video.) I guess I am the first one to discover this type of infection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted May 9, 2016 ID:1038847 Share Posted May 9, 2016 We don't know for sure if it's an infection yet or not. It's way too soon to say that, plus it doesn't look like one if you ask me. Did you try clearing your web browser cache, and see if the preview still appears? http://help.opera.com/Windows/12.10/en/cache.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted May 10, 2016 Root Admin ID:1038918 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Let's get some logs to see if something odd is there. Please read the following and post back the 3 requested logs. Diagnostic Logs Thank you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
In_Correct Posted May 10, 2016 Author ID:1038993 Share Posted May 10, 2016 So far, it looks like an unwanted feature of Opera that does not seem any way to turn it off. It looks like Opera is getting as bad as Google Chrome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aura Posted May 10, 2016 ID:1039023 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Apparently that feature needs to be manually triggered, so if you don't click on the button, the video shouldn't pop out. http://www.opera.com/blogs/desktop/2016/04/opera-beta-update-video-pop/ And I don't understand how Google Chrome is bad. For starters, it doesn't have that feature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
In_Correct Posted May 10, 2016 Author ID:1039058 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Thanks for helping! I was able to look into the comments and it is a Opera Flags setting. I know this sounds weird but it seems whenever I left Chrome open for a minute then the computer(s) would lock up and die. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted May 10, 2016 Root Admin ID:1039092 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Well the logs do show that the computer does have PUPs (Possibly Unwanted Programs) and other minor infection junk. It also shows applications or services not working properly. Would like to assist you further, however it also shows that you're running KMSpico v9.1.3 which is designed to steal Windows from Microsoft. If you'd like further assistance then you'd need to remove any pirated items from the system. This topic will now be closed due to evidence of cracked or pirated software on this system.
