I made a foolish mistake by installing a questionable program and accidentally hitting Enter when it asked to allow changes with these unknown sources. I have since uninstalled the original software, but my PC is receiving frequent and endless notifications from kokotrokot.com and apsolumente.com. I have scanned using MalwareBytes, Emsisoft Emergency Kit, and HitmanPro with no results, no quarantine, etc. They appear in my Windows Notifications, mostly trying to bait me into reactivating McAfee, or updating Chrome. If I dismiss one, another immediately pops up. I cannot locate anything within Chrome having to do with these, either. I'll try to add a screenshot, but any assistance is greatly appreciated.
