I tried deleting the Chrome extension data. It appears to temporarily have relieved the problem.

Do you still want to check your PC?

 

[Chris Birzer]

Yes, if you wouldn't mind. Thank you

Okay

  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

Thanks for your help. While I have your attention, I only have MalwareBytes Premium installed. Do you recommend having something else too?

It would be good to install some antivirus.

Problem is fixed. Thank you for your help.
