fforseman Posted November 12, 2017 ID:1181868 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Had the same problem and solved it by going into chrome and turning sync off under settings. Also had to remove all the search engines from the setting menu that were NOT search engines. Trying to figure out how to update the settings on the google site so I can turn sync back on. Try uninstalling chrome, running malwarebytes and then rebooting. Run malwarebyes again, the PUP should be gone if that was the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
