    Help !, stopping the Ads


    Hello,
    My default browser was and is Google Chrome. Recently the ads attack drives me crazy, cannot concentrate on anything I read.
    I am busy closing ads from the right and from the left, from up the page and down, they come like flies. And whats more, the ads are coming as small video clips, even on this site.
    I tried FireFox browser yesterday for half an hour - not even one ad. I cannot change to another browser, I got used to chrome, all my bookmarks, mail, etc. are there.
    So I am asking for help - is there some way how to stop these ads.
    Well, this will be all for now.
    Answers will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Motim

    That sounds like you are infected with adware. Try to scan with those:

    But since it affects only Chrome, you might want to reinstall it, but make sure to remove your profile.

    You can also use HiBit Uninstaller, that will find all leftovers.

    Motim, are you using Ublock Origin. If not install it from the Microsoft store.

    While it might help, beware of forum rules.
    12. No ad blocking discussions. This site depends on ads to pay for the costs of running and maintaining it.
