I have had this malware pop up several times in the last few months. Then few days ago, DW's computer got it. She goes to completely different websites than I do, so this particular malware is all over the web. I rebooted her computer to get out of the malware, but then when I opened Chrome again, she had it set in Settings so that it resumes where you left off, meaning same tabs will be open when Chrome is opened again, including the malware we're discussing.
So I had to uninstall Chrome, then reinstall it, then change the setting so that Chrome doesn't go back to the same tabs when re-opened. Then as someone said, if the malware appears, do Ctrl-Alt-Delete > Task Manager > close Chrome, then reopen Chrome.
I have Malwarebytes, but it seldom finds anything at all. We also use SuperAntiSpyware, Free version. It doesn't seem to solve this problem, but it always removes an awful lot of spyware.
That sounds great advice... Had not thought about Chrome doing that... Mine does same thing bring me back to where I left off... All I did for Chrome was check its updates which are good so will delete it and open it back up with a new version...
Chrome for me is faster that Firefox. I sit here all day with five or six BROADCASTIFY radio scanners running. This replaced my old radio scanner when they all went to digital mode. The new scanners cost a arm and leg these days so I am glad to get my scanner fill from the internet using BROADCASTIFY... This was on the CHROME side and when I opened them all back up on Firefox I notice they are a bit slower for some reason...

Yes, Firefox is definitely slower than Chrome. I don't use it often, but I can tell you that Safari for Windows (free download also) is also quite fast, so you might give it a go sometime.
Yeah, it's a fact, we do all live in our own little worlds. :E
