ICloud Dashboard

Today, I was on Google Chrome which I have used for years but when reading an article now, I get all these ads coming up. Why did this start today and how can I stop it. I've uninstalled ICloud from my system and restarted but they still come up taking up 25% of the page. In addition to that, they are now popping up in the middle of the page. What can I do about it? For that matter, I've never heard of ICloud Dashboard before. I am on Windows 10 Pro. Everything was running fine for a month until this BS started popping.

Will not download ITumes extras

Chrome > Settings > Extensions. Disable anything you don't remember actively choosing to install, or which you have reason to question. I suspect iCloud Dashboard may be among such items since you've mentioned it. It is not from Apple and may be responsible for your symptoms.

You're welcome. 🙂

Probably a good move to change your password, just in case that extension is really up to no good.

Install CCCleaner (free version is best). You can set it to remember passwords and dump all kinds of crap along with blocking all popups. big exhale. I just use it once in a while. You won't be sorry. <3 it. I also use Malwarebytes Pro and haven't had a virus, etc. for years.
