If problems persist after this, however, it may be worth contacting a technician for additional help.Īs a side note: The adware itself most likely came onto your computer via a request from a website you recently visited. Performing these steps should stop the notifications from appearing in Windows as this takes away the permissions for that source site to push notifications from its server to you. In the right-content well, click on Notifications (about half-way down) and then in the next page that appears go to the 'Allow' section found there and remove the items named '' from that area by clicking on three horizontal dots beside the entity name and selecting 'Remove' from the menus that appear beside those lines. To do this in the Edge browser (only if you use Edge, that is), click on the three horizontal dots in the upper right corner of the browser window, then on 'Cookies and site permissions' in the left-hand menu. Repeat for all other items possessing that entity name (if any) and then close the tab. In that list, look for an item titled '' - when you find it, click the three stacked dots to the right of it and select 'Remove' from the menu that appears. Then click on 'Site Settings' in the main content well, and then in the next window scroll down and click on 'Notifications.' In the next page that appears, scroll all the way down to a sub-section titled 'Allowed to send notifications'. When you do, a new browser tab will open, and in it click on 'Privacy and Security' in the left-hand navigation menu. When you click on that, a menu will appear and click on the word 'Settings' found in it. If using Chrome, then do the following: Open the 'Settings' menu, which can be accessed by clicking on the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the browser screen.

If you don't have the latter, then please install the free version of MalwareBytes from the following URL and run that, deleting whatever turns up in its scan results: īecause this type of adware uses Windows notifications to convey its messages, your scans may not turn up with anything in them, but that is fine. Secondly, run a full antivirus scan as well as a full anti-malware scanner on your system.
