Mea Culpa, I clicked something I thought was a USPS tracking site, and ended up downloading "trackyourpackage" and a couple of other pieces of poop. Have gone to Chrome Settings and deleted a couple of obvious villains, but still occasionally have a notification pop up which, when clicked, sends me to some other malicious site.
Have run Malwarebytes Premium several times, and it blocks all this yuck. What else do I do to get rid of it permanently? |

If the pests were picked up by Malwarebytes, they should be in quarantine. Find them in quarantine and delete them (I think with right-click, Delete)

| Did that. Still popping up, infrequently and unpredictably. Now trying uninstalling Chrome. Will probably reinstall it, it not without trepidation. |

Okay. Uninstalled Chrome, ran Malwarebytes multiple times, disarmed all the Chrome extensions I didn't recognize. Waited over a week. Reinstalled Chrome, immediately on opening, it tries to redirect to
search.trackyourpackagetab1.com
I strongly suggest you not access this link!
Have uninstalled Chrome again. Any hope for ever making it useful again? |

I am no computer pro, so my suggestions are basic, but did you go to control panel - programs and look for any that you don't recognize? Are you sure Chrome is set as your default? I recently had a problem, and something else was set for default (search or browser, don't remember which) and everything looked normal, but it was causing issues, although not sending me to malware sites.
