    All day today was being bombarded with advancedpctools pop up which would close the site I was viewing. im using google chrome

    Installed and run all these to try and sort it
    Adw cleaner
    Malwarebytes
    combofix
    Emsisoft anti malware
    Super anti spyware
    My computer is coming back clean with all programs
    nothing worked

    Now everytime I open a genuine site like here another one is loading up like tesco, lottery, zulander hack YouTube test video, and other pop ups just take over and close others down on me

    Whats happening and my pcs slow now and just cant use it with these pop ups

    Check and see the extensions added to chrome.
    You might have accidently added one that's dodgy.

    Open the start menu and type uninstall a program in the search box. Select uninstall a program and sort by installed date. Then you'll see what was installed today and you can remove it.

    Download ,install firefox or iron browser ,
    use that for the moment,
    iron browser uses chrome engine,but sends no user data to google .
    https://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron.php
    iron is a more private browser than chrome .
    Uninstall chrome reboot pc, downlaod new version of chrome, install it,.
    See it it loads webpages in an normal way.
