I am running a Windows 10 64 bit PC and have multiple programs running to keep the PC clean. Among those is Malwarebytes 3.3.1 Premium Lifetime. I looked at the results of the most recent daily scan and nothing was found. While browsing a minute ago with the Chrome browser a tab appeared with the following address:

How do I get rid of this?

Hello @rocks911

Let's first try just a browser reset. Then if that removes it, I'd highly suggest you look at installing an Ad blocker extension. AdBlock Plus or similar is pretty good at stopping some of this junk. If that does not work then we can scan for other issues.

 

 

Please visit each of the following sites and let's reset all of your browsers back to defaults to prevent unexpected issues.
If you are not using one of the browsers but it is installed then you may want to consider uninstalling it as older versions of some software can pose an increase in the potential for an infection to get in.

Firefox
Click on Help / Troubleshooting Information then click on the Refresh Firefox button.

Chrome
Reset Chrome back to defaults to completely clear out issues with Chrome.

• First, go to >> Google Sync << and sign into your account. Make sure you know your password as this will clear it from the browser.
• Scroll down until you see the   "reset sync" button to clear your data from the server and remove your passphrase.
• Now, close all Chrome windows. Chrome cannot be running for the next step. If needed, print this information or use another browser to read the information.
• Press the Windows key + R at the same time, to bring up the run dialog box.
  • 
• Type in (or copy/paste) the following and press Enter:     %localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\

1. Press Ctrl + A to select all the files and folders.
2. Hold down Ctrl + A and click once on the files "Bookmarks" and "Bookmarks.bak". This will unselect them.
3. With all the files selected (except for your Bookmarks), press the Delete key and click Yes to delete the files and folders.
4. Example of all files and folders selected, except Bookmarks

 

Restart your computer now and make sure there are no longer any redirects or other browser issues.
