can someone help for these symptoms


Os : 10.11.3


Symptoms : popup on chrome (wonderlandads)


I did search on google and found popups to wonderlandads is adware/malware.


I have scanned my system with Avast / avira and malware bytes . It did not find anything


I checked the extension and did not find any suspicious extension( only lastpass extenstion is there )


I reset the browser , cleared the history and cache, checked the default search and default page all seems to be correct.


The popup is getting very irritating.

How can i identify and remove this adware.

I assume there is some legitimate software that has the adware bundled but i dont know which one.


Please help
