Ever since Youtube got its stupid update, I've been getting malware each time I visit the site. I've narrowed it down to just youtube by visiting my normal sites one by one and youtube is the only page I have the problem with.  I've had to stop getting on youtube at work because I don't want to infect the office computer. (other people still use it therefore I still come into work greeted by malware on the back office computer)  Luckly if I'm quick enough, I can get it removed before the malware stops me from using any programs.

I just want to know if anyone else is having this problem with youtube

I've just run two scans (Malwarebytes and Avast) on my husband's laptop, because he's constantly on YouTube, and neither one found anything. He did have that problem a couple of months ago, though, when he was using Norton.

If you ran Malware Bytes then if you had any you'd find something.  I know McAfee and Norton don't catch malware which is ridiculous. What's the point of having that stuff when they can't detect that stuff.  Maybe its because someone got a whole bunch of adware on this computer and its that that's causing the real issue. If that is the case then its nothing that I can take care of since this is a work computer and I don't have authorization to do what needs to be done to remove it.
