Ad malware in Chrome (this is why I stopped using this shit!)

[flibberdipper]

So recently I typed in an address wrong, went to a crap site, and low and behold, Chrome is infected! I can remove it all I want from Chrome, but it still comes back. I haven't run a virus scan yet. Any tips on how to get rid of this motherfucker? It's about to drive me back to Firefox, and Chrome is too fast for me to want to go back.

 

 

EDIT: And now I'm getting popups. Like this (WARNING: SHIT IS MALICIOUS, SO I TOOK OUT A T IN HTTP.) htp://www.reimageplus.com/lp/sys/index.php?tracking=CPX2&banner=270504&adgroup=direct&ads_name=direct&keyword=direct&context=447450455

Is there anything suspicious in your installed extensions? And in Chrome there's a setting at the bottom of the settings page to completely reset it, that worked fine on my mother's computer that was infested with adware and other crap.

That's not chrome's fault, that's malaware. If you want to blame someone blame windows.

Honestly, troubleshoot it like a virus + check chrome extensions and files.

Will it get rid of my synced data across the board, or just locally?

I know it's not Chrome's fault. But in 3 years of Firefox, nothing. 3 weeks of Chrome, and boom.

How can you get infected by just going to a site? Chrome has always blocked my webpage if I tried going to a malicious site...

are you using malwarebytes and an antivirus?

I really don't know, but yeah definitely something worth looking into before doing it. I never really checked, does Chrome provide an option to download a backup of your settings, or are they just automatically synced with your google account?

I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME GOD DAMN SHIT...

Started yesterday to temperorely fix it, remove it from extensions but it comes back every restart

*shoulder shrug* I'll just take a screenshot of apps and export my bookmarks.

well thats really weird because webpages are not allowed to directly download files to your computer without permission, which is what needs to be done to infect a browser

have you changed any of your windows or chrome permissions to allow webpages to run or download programs without asking first?

 

did it start when you went to that site? or just around that same time?

usually this fixes the problem of malware on browsers

next time use adblock, ghostry, and some intelligence.

I never had a problem with chrome....

It is time to use some kinda of malware removal, its likely to deep to see and not easy to remove. My parents computers always get this and I finally said enough is enough and put ad blockers on their machines. The last time it was so bad I need to run several programs to remove stuff and multiple scans by the same utilities before I got it all.

Never had a problem with chrome like that, and I use avast (free) and malwarebytes (premium)

you should probably choose better porn sites.

Same thing happened to me. I tried reinstalling, ran multiple malware and virus scans and tried removing all my extensions and the stuff still comes back. Finally I just went to Firefox. It's using 2gbs of ram ( counting background stuff ect ect.. Instead of an average 3-3.5gbs. Try Firefox so far I like it, it's gonna take some getting used to but it's fairly simple I also use adblockers ( except on twitch because I don't mind helping out twitch streamers since I can't donate)

When I visited. Fixed now. Had to run Avast and MBAM, then uninstall Chrome. She's all happy now. Wicked fast too, holy shit.

Well, duh. I admitted that I typed in an address wrong.
