I am trying to get rid of these ads, and when I remove them from my computer and extensions they keep coming back. Can anyone help please?

It isn't doing it rn, but it will pop up saying your computer has a virus or is infected with malware.

I'm not sure whether you are talking about on your browser or on your computer, but I'll help you out with both.

Regarding your browser, downloading adblock will get rid of the majority of your ads. c:

Regarding your computer, you more than likely have a virus on your computer that's spamming your computer full of stuff. I recommend backing up your important files and formatting your PC.

I had the same problem, just cleared a load of junk from my PC and ran some scans, after I did that everything was fine again.

I was wondering... Does this advertisement issue come from something known as "Adnetwork Digital"? Because that's where I get my issues from, and it's a virus of ads popping up every time I try to click something. And I need help removing it too, despite having done all the scans. :c

Reinstall Chrome and be careful what you download.

This will not fix the issue.
Adware extensions are downloaded onto your computer to track you, then advertise you (hence the name adware). These extensions are usually download in C:/Program Files or C:/Program Files (x86). However, there can be extensions hidden in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile\Extensions. I used to have adware on my computer and I deleted it manually. Make sure to remove the extension on Chrome as well.

What I did worked for me.
