Hiya tabasco and welcome to Malwarebytes,

Use the instructions in the following link to hard reset Chrome...

https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/213452-hard-reset-google-chrome-to-defaults/

Let me know if that helps...

Thank you,

Kevin..

Hi Kevin and thanks!. Got an error message when I tried opening it up. Also I tried Settings>privacy and security> reset to setting to their default, It didn't work. Tried Hitman and Zemana Antimalware, still there. 

This time when pup legacy popped up, I realized it was after I used transmission. But it seems to change where it originates from.

Hiya tabasco,

Apologies you do not have correct permissions for the link I gave you. Instructions from link follow...

Please review and reset Google Chrome back to defaults if you're unable to clean or remove settings manually

 

Before resetting Google Chrome please review the following links and export your bookmarks to a folder location outside of any Google folders such as My Documents
How to Back Up and Restore Your Chrome Bookmarks Locally

Review your current extension in Google Chrome so that you can reinstall those that you want to keep
How to Install and Manage Extensions in Chrome

Please save/export your passwords as this process will delete them.
Saving passwords in a browser is a very bad idea and not recommended. Recommend that you use a password manager instead.

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

• Open Chrome and at the top right, click  More tools  Extensions
• Write down the list of Extensions installed.
• Next, go to >> Google Sync << and sign in to 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
5. WARNING: If the folders do not look similar do not continue deleting. You may not be in the correct folder.

 

Restart your computer now and make sure there are no longer any redirects or other browser issues and let us know the results before reinstalling any Extensions in Chrome

Thank you,

Kevin..

Hello thanks it didn't say delete sync but it said clear data and i deleted as much as i could, reset chrome to its orginal default before i deleted chrome all together. It seem to have fixed the problem.  Thanks you for the help.
