Full scan not removing a malware

Jump to solution

I ran full scan 3 times over the last 2 weeks and it said it didn't find anything, but I am pretty sure I have an adware and maybe some other malwares as I am getting an unwanted popup in my chrome all the time. Can I get a help removing them?

Hello @OMgL 

We are so sorry for the inconvenience caused.

If the issue is actually with a Malware, McAfee will definitely remove it. I kindly request you to update McAfee and run a Full Scan. Also, please ensure Windows is up to date. You can also run McAfee Malware Cleaner tool.

Ensure you remove unwanted extensions and also clear cache and cookies from Chrome.

Seems like the issue was with one of the extensions I was using or cache and cookies, because I removed them and I stopped getting the ads.

Thank you
