Hello laciemet,
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
 
With my research I have found very little information about this "gamecontest.com. Sounds like a PUA and you cn try to remove it by looking here:  https://community.webroot.com/t5/Techie-KB/How-to-Remove-Potentially-Unwanted-Applications/ta-p/4074... if you can't find anything then please Submit a Support Ticket and they will  check this out for you free of charge with a a Webroot susbscription.
 
Also you could reset the Chrome browser: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/3296214?hl=en
 
Hope this helps.
