Hello,

Pop-up messages from Google Chrome keep appearing on my Windows home screen. They are alert messages.

These messages make no sense. For example, some messages supposedly come from Avast. However, Avast is not installed on this PC.

Additionally, the pop-up function is disabled on my Google Chrome.

I'm posting a screenshot.

I feel like my PC is infected with a virus... Is there anyone who can help me?

    Hello

    In Google's settings, under "Privacy and Security," you have access to cleaning and resetting tools.

      Hello Redbart,

      Well spotted! In privacy and security, Google alerted me to a site that was sending an abnormal number of notifications. I blocked it and the pop-ups disappeared in an instant.

      Thank you very much for your help!

      Have a great day!

    Hello.

    These are just notifications recorded in Chrome, no need to reset Chrome, just delete them through Chrome settings see remove-ads-in-the-bottom-right-chrome-notifications.
