Windows 10: Infected by chrome-updates.win phishing site

I made this account just to thank you all. I thought my PC was infected but it was Touch VPN all along!

after unistalling the hotspot shield browser extension the problem was solved for me aswell

Joining the "just made an account to thank you guys" party. I had a bunch of VPN extensions for some odd reason and removing all of them got rid of the problem.

A HUGE thank you to the person who suggested removing it.

As with a lot of other people, just made an account to thank you guys for figuring this out. Removed Betternet and it was gone immediately; thought I had some malware or something. Thanks very much.

Joining the party as well. Mine was Hotspot extension. Made me anxious a bit, what's wrong with the VPNs though....

Hotspot Shield is also affected. Possibly a compromised API that the VPNs are using?

thanks you guys. I could not find any way in Korea, know the problem on this forum thanks you. 감사합니다.

Thanks for mentioning Touch VPN! I have tried to find the problem on my mac all day, and finally it is gone. I have used it for over a year, so it is weird it suddenly began bothering me.

Can confirm that Hotspot shield caused me the issue too, which is strange as I've had it for over a year now.

Mine was caused by hotspot shield too.

I disabled it but do I need to anything additional? Im running some scans now. Is there a way to tell if my pc was compromised? I'm afraid if using it now (currently posting from my phone on Firefox app)

Or am I overreacting?
