Popups and MalwareBytes
There are two common causes of pop-ups/ malware/adware/viruses and chrome trying to be helpful and allowing notifications, and actual malware/adware/viruses etc…
First we want to make sure its NOT malware/adware/viruses, to do this we’re going to install then run a program called Malwarebytes:
Follow this link https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/
Under Malwarebytes for Windows click Download free
Click save
If using Chrome right click the downloaded file and select open from the menu
Click yes to allow changes to your PC
Click ok to select english
Click on Personal Computer or home (this lets us use the free version) then Continue
Click Agree and Install
Watch the progress bar
Click finish
This window should pop up
12. Click Scan Now
13. You should see this window:
14. This can take 2-30 minutes, depending on what it finds
15. If it finds anything click Quarantine Selected
16. Once finished it may ask you to reboot, click yes
If Malwarebytes didn’t find anything, your pop-ups may be unwanted chrome notifications, which is covered here
