Attached are pics showing when the pop-up occurs prompted by Bing (which I don't use nor do I have installed). I don't know who's firing this pop-up, but I want it to go away. Thanks!

Unfortunately, this dialog isn't from Chrome or Chromium. The most likely problem was that someone installed (or tricked a user of your PC) into installing a bundle that included unwanted software, including this popup, which is not shown by Chrome or Chromium itself. You may wish to consult https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2765944?hl=en for help on removing unwanted software (less malicious software can be removed using Windows' "Add/Remove Programs" Control Panel). |
