I've been having a frustrating issue where 'ad.doubleclick.net' keeps randomly opening in my browser. I've scanned my entire computer using Malwarebytes and AdwCleaner, but nothing seems to catch it. It's not a rogue extension since my browser opens on its own. I've even checked Task Scheduler for suspicious activity, but I can't find anything unusual. I'm starting to worry that it could be something like ViperSoftX or even a RAT, though I doubt it's that serious; I might just be overthinking it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

If you're not sure where to find the VirusTotal database, don't worry! You can access it directly on their website. Just search for the file hash that Process Explorer gives you, and it will show if anything is flagged as malicious. It's a great way to get a second opinion on processes.
You might want to try using Microsoft's Sysinternals tool called 'Process Explorer'. When you run it, go to the OPTIONS menu and enable the VirusTotal functionality. This will let you check all the running processes on your computer against the VirusTotal database to see if anything looks suspicious.
