Malicious Addons
Some of these addons cause you to randomly join a Dark RP server once you play Singleplayer. These are some of the addons that "possibly" have this coding.

Door Stool
RT Camera
Pokeball Creator
More Materials
Smartsnap

I still haven't decoded my other addons, so stick around to see if I added anything.

Also, if you have this problem, unsubscribe to the addon. Then open up Gmod, then head into the addons folder. C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons
And select *ALL* of the addons and send them to the recycle bin. The reason you open up gmod is that whenever its opened it will keep all the addons you are using so you don't delete them. Then go into the recycle bin and delete all of it. This will also remove the addons you removed, so it frees up a ton of space. It removed 6 Gigabytes from my hard drive :D. Hopefully this fixed the problem.

Just incase something goes wrong always make sure to backup the folder. Don't blame me because you didn't.

If it still didn't fix it, I wish someone to help me, and you in the comments. I don't have all the answers. Thanks for reading!

After deleting a few add-ons (mostly tools I never/rarely used) I can safely say that the random-connection thing (for now, at least) is no longer happening. Unfortunately, due to the number of add-ons I've deleted, I can't really tell which one were malicious and which are not. However, I do remember a few of the tools I've removed:

-Improved Polyweld Tool
-Advanced Bone Tool
-Ragdoll Roper
-Rag Mover
-Easy Animation Tool
-Achievement Viewer

Again, I can't tell which one(s) was malicious, but they're a few to keep an eye on.

Improved Polyweld, and Achievement Viewer I'm sure. I use the other ones and they don't seem to be malicious.

I was reading this lua script while Garry's Mod was running in the background in singleplayer and I noticed the taskbar flashed. when I checked it I saw I was joining a server and quickly clicked cancel.

I use borderless window fullscreen and Garry's Mod shows through the taskbar.

Don't forget to unsubscribe, people, else GMOD will just redownload them again...
