Re: PUP's from online studies - harmless or not?

Re: annoying google chrome cookies

I've found the problem, it was an extension I had for a long time, got recently updated, and from that update the malware ads pop ups started showing up, removed it, reinstalled and cleaned google, everything works like a charm!

if somebody else have an issue like this, don't forget to check your extension! even the one you trust.
