Try a few addins such as Ghostery and UblockOrigin in Chrome and see if they stop it.
Personally I don't bother with additional virus software like AVG, the built-in Windows one seems perfectly fine. I'll occasionally run Malwarebytes or Spybot Search & Destroy but that's mainly removing tracking cookies and the like.

A couple weeks into windows machine ownership (having been mac since 2008) and I have some sort of virus.
In chrome, sometimes when I click on a link, instead of taking me to the link in that tab, it seems to be opening it in a new tab (the back button is ghosted out) and sending the original tab to a spam site.
I've been using the free version of AVG since getting the pc and today I've downloaded and run Malwarebytes which found 5 threats or whatever which I deleted but it's still happening.
I've just re-scanned with Malwarebytes and it's came back with nothing.
It might only be happening on links on retrobike, could there be a problem with just that site? Shouldn't AVG detect that?
