Getting rid of pop ups and ads in Google Chrome on MBP

I am starting this new post per instructions given in the following thread:

How do I stop the pop-ups ?

I followed the instructions given by Linc Davis and I am posting the results below. I would like any help on this matter, as I don't really know how to decipher the results. If I do have adware (which I assume I do), please help me to remove it! Thanks!

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011)

I don't see any adware, but you can use the steps below to check.


Manual method:


Malware – Adware removal – Apple Support


Or download this program which was written by Thomas Reed, a long time poster. The program will do the work for you which makes it easy. If you are uncertain about downloading programs, try the manual method.

Malware Guide – AdwareMedic – 10.7 and higher

Try running this program and then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor. Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read.
