Google Chrome opening new windows on it's own.

[Fluens]

Hello, the last few days I have had an issue with google chrome opening new windows to random advertisements. My Malwarebytes log comes up with nothing. I have attached it anyway, as well as the FRST log and a hijackthis file.

My chrome settings are all clear, new tabs I open go to where I want them to be. The new window issue seems to pop up in pairs as well.

Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers, Fluens.

Thank you for the advice so far. I went through the push notification settings for Chrome, it did not fix the issue however. Is there anything else it could be?

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