trk86 Posted November 27, 2018 ID:1283445 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I must have clicked something in a browser tab today by mistake - now I'm receiving pop up notifications in Chrome with this tagline for various (and obvious) links to viruses. Malwarebytes did not pick this up - any idea? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trk86 Posted November 28, 2018 Author ID:1283496 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Tried going through Chrome advanced settings and checking "clean up computer" - no luck there in Chrome finding the problem. Still getting Chrome notifications that are going to my Windows notification bar about "you may have a virus" and a couple of other random ads the adware is trying to get me to click. I cant be the only person who's seen this. Some help would be appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trk86 Posted November 28, 2018 Author ID:1283612 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Yeah Malwarebyes nor Bitdefender found this adware for me, and cleaning up my Chrome internally did nothing either. Not sure what to do about this one, but it's slightly annoying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
