Or something to that effect, I dunno exactly what is happening but  I was getting this warning in Chrome a lot

(note the address in the address bar)

it was popping up frequently when id open a new tab upon typing like..2 or 3 characters in.

I was quite puzzled but looked into it more and found this https://www.tenforums.com/antivirus-firewalls-system-security/87488-infected-chrome-updates-win-phishing-site.html

and by visiting the link in that thread I found this http://chromepeeps.blogspot.ca/p/list-of-malware-and-problematic.html

I'm pretty sure linus has plugged hotspot shield at some point so I wanted to put out a PSA.

At some point, but it was dropped because of complaints. Current VPN sponsor is TunnelBear.
