Good Morning!
 
I continue to get these popup ads by quiknowledge as I work. I don't know how it got into my programs but I was able to remove it through my control panel and "uninstall a program".
 
With that said, I continue to get the "popup" in my Google Chrome. 
 
Is there a way that I can get this stopped?
 
Thanks!

Hello Phil Sorry you are having this issue. Have you gone into Google Chrome in setting and set Block pop ups? Hopefully I can get advice from @ . I'll see if he's around...:D
 
You could download Adblock plus from google store and I know thats what alot of the users here use.

I believe that Quiknowledge is a browser hijacker.

I do appreciate the help. I also downloaded the adblocker app late last week and it didn't seem to work too well until I removed the malware from my programs.
 
Thanks again!!!
