Malware-like? #216

Closed hyoretsu closed 4 years ago

I don't know how tf, but all of a sudden a window about popups started appearing, with AdGuard written in it. I haven't installed anything in more than a month, and yet it just appeared on my Chrome.

Could you please take a screenshot and attach it here?

@Hyoretsu any news? we need to know more details about the problem to understand what is going on.

Since the site I got that window on isn't available anymore, I haven't got it since then. But if I access https://popupblocker.adguard.com/options.html it still detects AdGuard, even though I don't have it installed in Windows nor as a Chrome extension. I even ran the uninstall program that I found on some FAQ from you guys.

Here, it appeared again when I tried to login with Google in https://www.notion.so/login. I do not know how this got installed nor do I want it, especially after I already tried to unistall this unwated software. There's nothing listed in Chrome/Windows apps list/Control Panel and the uninstaller couldn't find 90% of what it needed to uninstall. image

@Hyoretsu clearing cache in the browser should help with this.

@zzebrum Found it. There's a script called "AdGuard Popup Blocker" on my Tampermonkey. But the fact still stands that I'm 100% sure I didn't install this, especially because it was last updated 2 weeks ago, when I last messed with Tampermonkey a few months ago. And even then, I only manually added a few scripts for Cookie Clicker. Uninstalled.
