I'm willing to bet you've somehow installed a rogue app/extension/add-on for Chrome. It may have sneaked in with some "freeware" program you installed which included a "toolbar" for chrome etc.

Im not sure, my cousin may have installed something, i dont usually install Chrome add ons, but if its just a computer specific thing then i think ill be able to sort it out.

I recomend you tell your cousin to stop visiting porn sites.

That or install actuall anitvirus software and keep your subscription current.

That's to do with your browser, not the site. It happens sometimes on Firefox and then goes away when the broswer updates itself.
