Mycomputer has aquired what seems to be mapsnow.co that places ads or such in small blocks in the right bottom corner of the screen
There are published remedies involving mainly removing Google Chrome extension. There is no such Chrome extension to be removed. Likewise, inthe list op programs and aps there is no mapsnow ap to be uninstalled.
My security program finds no virus or mal ware. ad blocjker does not block the popups.
any ideas?
Thanks to all who gave constructive advice.
The problem was not cured by adblocker.
I made several attempts to use various malware/virus removers with no success.
I had previously removed what might be Chrome extensions causing the problem. That had no effect, the extension was not visible.
I did go to Chrome Advanced/ Reset and did the reset. That seems to have done the job.
I have no clue however where the villian was hiding
