Can not get rid of malware
« on: June 12, 2019, 11:37:42 PM »
I have malware via newstext.biz that pops up in Chrome. I have scanned my computer multiple times but the scan does not find this malware. I have only the free version. Can this version find and delete this malware, or do i have to buy a product?

The URL/website is block by avast(URL:Blacklist) and you are Protected and you can stay with free version of avast. :)
Nothing to worry about it.

Have you turned on avast PUP detection?  (default off)

Have you tried to run a scan with Malwarebytes antimalware and Malwarebytes AdwCleaner
