[QUOTE="lovingit, post: 405536, member: 37602"] Hey Folks, I keep getting popups by this weird spyware called "discountman". When I google it, it tells me to do things I have already done like remove it from my Chrome extensions, manually delete the extensions folder from my C: drive, and scan my computer with various spyware programs (see link below). However, it goes fine for a couple of days but then somehow manages to come back. Has anyone else encountered this "discountman" bug? I have done all 5 steps from this link [URL]http://malwaretips.com/blogs/ads-by-discountman-removal/#uninstall[/URL] I even installed Revo Uninstaller, but it cannot find "Discountman". Under "extension" it says C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\Extensions\chrome\ app\37.1329.1.2 But when I go to the Application folder, there is no "extensions" folder. It must be hiding somehow. I even tried restore, but it can only go back to 6 days ago on Windows 7. Doesn't solve the issue. Anyone have success without having to reformat their hard drive? [/QUOTE]
