    Persistent Popups - System Alert - Best Tool to Remove?


    I am running

    22H2 (OS Build 19045.3086)

    Please advise if this is not fully up-to-date.


    Last night I stumbled into the following address:

    ztreewin2.rssing.com

    The visit has triggered popups stating that

    Microsoft Security Client
    An error has occurred in the program during initialization. If this problem continues, please contact your system administrator.
    Error cods:0x80070426

    followed by
    Google Chrome
    Your info has been leaked
    Click to protect your credit card info

    This looks like a miserable rabbit warren to wander into.

    Has anyone good advice to offer?

    I'm troubled because ZTreeWin, a tool I depend upon, has had its name misused.

    thanks

    Nothing to remove. They are push notications which you must have allowed or been tricked into allowing.

    Chrome: copy and paste into the address bar:

    chrome://settings/content/notifications

    Press enter. Turn off or block / remove anything you don't need.

    It's likely that you clicked on

    Except if that message appears in a dodgy push notification. I think that's what happened and displayed Error 0x80070426 message but it's not clear.

    Thank You Both


    Thank you both for a quick and informative response.

    I changed the notification status for 'rsssing' and the notices 'disappeared' to my relief.

    I'm glad it was easily resolved. At 83 it was easy for me to miss the opt out notice; my vision is dodgy but appears to be improving after a 'minor stroke' during an aortic valve replacement.

    Thanks again

    Even though you stopped the notifications, you may still have the app on your computer.
    You have installed a Chrome Extension that is trying to run.
    Go to the 3 dots and upper right toolbar. Select Extensions. Disable or Remove any Extensions you do not use or want.
