Malware bytes ran but random strange occurrence happened

I JUST SAW A POST ABOUT THIS AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THIS SORT OF ISSUE AFTER USING SKYPE I HAVE UNINSTALLED SKYPE! FOR NOW CONSIDER SKYPE DANGEROUS SINCE IT MAY HAVE A BACK DOOR

Had a live chat with Skype tech support regarding a potential security breech. The tech support person said that they were going to send it to the engineers to investigate

I'm using Chrome, with ad-blocker, hangouts (google chat), and docs.

So I was just minding my own business on Skype talking with friends then left the call for a while and when I came back when a random pornographic site (child porn something about american movers.com) popped up while on my desktop after I left the call I managed to close it before it did anything I have no downloads of any pictures just the website, so I ran malware bytes and after a while it finished and it removed two PUGs I had them removed, 5 minutes later task bar application opens up randomly even though I was not doing anything that would cause it to open so I run it again and it does not find anything wrong. This computer is used very carefully by just me and have never visited any sketchy sites. The only thing that I can think of that would have brought a virus onto my computer was a flash drive that I let one of my classmates use a while back to present a project from his home PC to the school. I plugged in the flash drive into my computer yesterday and today I got the random pop up and the random task bar program launching. I know that malwarebytes removed two threats but I'm not sure if that random taskbar application is anything serious or just me overthinking.
