I'm having a weird issue where every time I restart my PC and open Google, it automatically loads a random gambling website. I've seen other posts about Google starting on its own, but that's not what's happening here. This only occurs when I manually open Google. I've tried clearing my settings and disabling all extensions, but nothing has worked.

This could be due to malware, or possibly someone else accessing your Google profile on a different browser. Make sure to check if anyone else has used your PC or if your account security settings are compromised.
It sounds like you might have downloaded some malware that hijacked your browser. You should check your default homepage settings in Chrome to see if something suspicious is set there. Also, make sure to run a full virus scan.
You should consider downloading a malware removal tool like Malwarebytes. It’s effective at cleaning up unwanted software and should help fix this issue.
Okay, I’ll try that! Thanks for the tip!
