When opening Chrome I get a blocked website popup from Malwarebytes each time I open Chrome, or open a new tab in an already open Chrome browser.

Have followed instructions from link provided by Root Admin (below)

As the Threat Scan run did not find anything,  Attached are the files requested from these instructions.

Look forward to your assistance in eliminating this issue.

Hi,

Your copy of Chrome has probably been compromised

Remove Chrome from your Computer and reinstall a fresh copy later.

If you remove the syncing of your account you must remove it before you save your bookmarks etc...

Before you remove Chrome Export your Bookmarks
Chrome will export your bookmarks as a HTML file, which you can then import into another browser.
