Will_T Posted December 20, 2018 ID:1288183 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I wanted to install Paint.net and could not find a good link on their site. I eventually downloaded it through a review link at Tom's Hardware I believe. But when looking for a good lnk on the Paint site, one of the download buttons went to something called Freeformsnow dot com. I immediately backed out and closed Chrome, but now I am getting notifications at the bottom right of my WIn 10 screen trying to get me to click through to different sites. Spam basically. I read about Free Forms Now being a browser hijacker extension but there is no extension for it listed in Chrome. Neither Malwarebytes or Avast alerted to anything when I was looking to download Paint.net. And neither Malwarebytes or Avast finds anything wrong in a scan. Any ideas of suggestions? Thanks.
