I have the Lenovo T440s laptop. Great machine. Windows defender is running, I just did a full scan and it didn't detect anything. Yet, I keep seeing odd pop ups and advertising sites, etc., that keep tormenting me. Also, when I click on Chrome, it doesn't go straight to the google start page (which it's set up to do) but some other search page. I've looked to uninstall "crap" programs but I'm not savvy enough to know what I need to preserve and what I can uninstall. I don't really know what the next step is, but is there something I should be doing to insure my computer runs smoothly.
I'm really tech deficient, so please speak to me like I'm a 2nd grader if you have any suggestions.
Thanks, Bleedred
Edit: For example: I keep seeing "Ad Choice" or "Ads by priceless" seemingly infecting sites I visit with banner adds above or below, or generally messing with the pages. It's infuriating.
