For a little over 2-3 weeks or so I've been having an issue, even despite having Malwarebytes (and even purchasing it yesterday), of new windows with sketchy ads/websites popping up while I'm just on Chrome. It seems to only be on Chrome and I've tried many things suggested, even restarting Chrome, uninstalling, reinstalling, using cleaners, different anti malware programs, and even tried weeks ago a system restart to an earlier date but I must have acted too late as the time brought back (which I think was around the 10th or 11th of May) I was still infected, but nothing could detect or get rid of whatever it is that is causing chrome to do this. Malwarebytes seem to "stop" the pop ups, and says they blocked it but it's not preventing it from happening and there are times when the page isn't even blocked so I have to manually do it with a chrome addon...which doesn't help much. It kind of just makes it so a blocked site pops up in a new window.
Some of the sketchy sites that pop up are, but definitely not limited to:
- goodsearch(.)com
- go.mobifoth(.)com
- digitalprivacyalerts(.)org
- go.searchlock(.)com
- foy4a.trackvoluum(.)com
- marmrtr111(.)com
- And Just many many other really random things. Those were just very few of a whole list that is on chromes "blacklist" addon I have.
I've seen issues similar to this on other forums, but a lot of them have warnings regarding the specific system a person is using, so I wanted to ask for help with this. I was kinda of scared to try something I saw without guidance. I did try something by myself involving something called FRST but I feel I may have messed up somewhere along the way...as evident since I still have the issue.
