I have adware - Blаckhat - May 13, 2019
Every 20-30m my browser will open a random fake windows alert trying to get me to click it, sometimes just ad pages, etc. I usually just close them and continue on with what i'm doing but its starting to get annoying.
There are a few processes open, but I either get access denied when trying to close them, or when I close them they simply reopen.
I will appreciate any help

Here is a basic list of things you can try, let me know if the issue persists.
- Download Malware Bytes and scan your entire computer.
- Go to 'Add or remove programs' and try to locate the AdWare (might be there too)
- Chrome: Settings - Advanced - Reset to Default
- Right click on Chrome and check if any fields in there (e.g. Target) are modified

Well I found it in add or remove but I wasn't able to remove it. I manually scanned the folder it was located in and I think Malwarebytes took care of it. I appreciate your help man, I don't know why I didn't think of that

Open it on the safe mode and do that same thing as our member said

Oooh this helped me get the last thing that was popping a notification up. Thank you I was able to delete that in safe mode.
