  1. Random popups after visiting a sketchy website


    I recently visited a sketchy website, one where everytime you click, it opens a new tab. This time, it opened a new tab then immediately disappeared. Now I am getting random notifications from chrome. I ran a quick scan using mcAfee, but it didn't detect anything. I looked at task manager, and more specifically I opened up task manager through chrome to see what was going on. I saw a couple of things appearing and then disappearing. All I want is a way to stop these notifications, without having to turn off notifications for chrome. In the picture, you can also see a weird address on the notification. There was also something else I saw that was called, "Extension: Chrome media router" that is not seen in the pictures.
    Using Windows 10 and chrome.

  2. Random Popups Windows 10

    Hi Microsoft,

    As the title suggested, I am currently encountering the issue where random popups occurred. It would seems like it was a command prompt and it randomly appeared and closes immediately. Is there any way to resolve this issue?

    Thank you.

    Thanks for the time, Parth. You explain how to show the most visited sites. This I know. I've asked how to sort them, , and you do not address my question.
