Need help removing pop up

[Endre]

Hey,

 

First of all, sorry if this is the wrong forum part.

 

So I've had this pop up for a while which is insanely hard to remove and I've only found a partial quick fix. The pop up is "fastlauncher.xyz" which redirects to an online casino. My solution was download a chrome extension called Block site, where I manually set it to block "fastlauncher.xyz". I still get a pop up from Block site, which is less annoying.

 

Anyway, what I've tried is the following:
1. Malwarebytes full scan

2. Kaspersky full scan

3. Avast full scan and Avast Browser Cleanup

4. CCleaner

5. Zemana AntiMalware
6. HitmanPro

7. Junkware Removal Tool

8. Resetting chrome settings

 

None of these have worked, so I have no clue what to do and this is why I'm here. I hope someone knows how to solve this and remove the pop up.

 

Thank you,
Endre

This pop-up always pops up? If so, it might be somewhere in your registers or something like that. You might want to try windows recovery. Check installed programs for crap manually. Edit your hosts file to block any connection to this site. (lots of tutorials on edditing hosts file)

I had a lot of problems with my computer lately and a friend of mine managed to fix it by installing a pirate version of Windows 10 on a clean SSD. I think this could be the reason I have the pop up (maybe?), as I had the pop up from day 2 after the fresh Windows install. I can't find anything suspicious in the installed programs list. I'll check out the host files  I'll post the result of it. Thank you for the fast reply!!
