Specifically, I started noticing strange triggers on my Google chrome browser. The script would open several other tabs/windows at interval. Display ads, webpage advertisement were been displayed on my Google Chrome browser even programmatically.

At some point, I ignored the occurrence but the rate was becoming unbearable.I couldn't ignore or bear anymore. I tried several methods I knew as an IT Specialist that I had learnt while working as a desktop support technician in my past job experience.
