    Hi guys,

    Have a 2011 MBP - fully updated, use Chrome for internet (never used Safari) and use Hotspot VPN when connected (even at home).

    Chrome extensions used:
    Adblock Plus
    Auto Pager Chrome
    Ghostery
    History Eraser
    HTTPS Everywhere
    Minimalist for Everything
    Pocket (formerly Read It Later)
    TinEye Reverse Image Search


    Installed but rarely enabled:
    Awesome Screenshot: Capture & Annotate
    ColorZilla
    MeasureIt
    WhatFont

    Every maybe 3 or 4 days, when i start my MBP and launch Chrome a tab opens containing what the screenshot shows.

    I'm afraid that something has been compromised or is spamming (admittedly not that often) but still.

    Does anyone else have this issue or am I being over cautious?

    Thanks

    Check the "startup" pages in chrome settings under
    "Open a specific page or set of pages. [URL="chrome://settings/"]Set pages[/URL]"

    I tried googling kaboomit.com but got nothing. Maybe try uninstalling Chrome and reinstalling it, extension by extension?
