After the warnings went up I immediately did a full scan of defender and followed its prompts to window site to another scan I can't remember but it came up clean Windows defender said it quarantined virus and no other threats detected

I then downloaded a free copy of malwarebytes ran scan it came up with several pup and a malware file. had it all removed. rebooted system and repeated process until all scans came up clean.

have repeated these scans since then all are coming up clean.

Hello,

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan 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.

​

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finishes FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

How is the situation now?

So far so good with the update for chromium, but those update requests were rather sporadic since 11/23

The warning on edge was a first time received when I decided to contact you all.

I think it was about 1-2 weeks between the first chromium update request and the second.

I will use system normal and monitor for 2-3 weeks. or contact immediately if issues should reoccur before the end of that time frame with a final analysis.

Thank you all so much for your help so far. Hopefully you will not hear back from me before the 3 week marker.

I just wanted to give a followup like I said after watching the system and using it like normal for the past 3 weeks. I am happy to report no pop ups of any sort from the issues I was having before. Thank you all for your help and all you do!
