Lot of spam/adverts through Google Chrome?

JustAnotherSaver

I've started getting annoying adverts/pop ups/spam with Google Chrome. FireFox is my main browser, which i have no bother with, but some times i use Chrome & it's been acting up lately.

I'll be on a page & hover over a link & i'll get an advert mini pop-up. I'll click a link & a new window will open with some rubbish on. Here's an example...



I regularly run SuperAntiSpyware & Malwarebytes. What's going on here & how do i stop it?

Go to settings, Extensions and see if any suspicious "helper" ones have been installed. disable or remove anything you don't like the look of.

Also install adblockplus

Use ADW cleaner from here :- https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/

That should shift it

I highly recommend using Ghostery once you've cleaned any infection out.

As well as whats been said, look in installed programs and see if anything has been installed that you werent expecting with another install.

Well had a look in the extensions - nothing. Installed programs - nothing. Just put adblockplus in with chrome & currently installing ADW as i type.

Thanks.
