How to find the cause, when pressing play, but redirected to rubbish sites?

I have checked my laptop for viruses and comes back completely clear, but still, when I am pressing play, immediately opens up another window with ridiculous content and often offensive.  I have to press play again and it works.

Sometimes, I have to close the rubbish window, but other times, it automatically closes.

Update:

I believe that it is just a glitch with the program, as it is fine again and no, not a bogus site, as I have used them to view asian dramas for a few years now and only just having issues.

    That's unfortunately a common issue for streaming sites and the like; the first click will always open the annoying ad site in a new window/tab, and only the 2nd click will actually do what you expect it to do.

    Don't worry, it's just the website equivalent of spam emails.

    sounds like a bogus or untrustworthy website. what is it?

    Nobody here knows what "laptop" you have, what operating system runs it, what "pressing play" means.  And since you chose not to tell details, we remain not able to help you.

    this seems to be in the material you are trying to play ... delete it and find something decent to watch
