Every 30 seconds my computer locks up until I enter a password into it. It displays "Chrome Browser Locked" and has a pitchure of a padlock on it. I've tried reinstalling Chrome, but to no avail. I've tried running a uninstaller program but it can't find it. I think the name of the program is "uBlock Origin" but I don't know. I think I downloaded a Pop-up blocker somewhere down the line. Any help would be appriciated, Thank-You
