Hello board, I started getting some half Russian half English ads cluttering my screen this afternoon and i can't seem to get rid of the adware associated. I noticed them after i had downloaded roller coaster tycoon from steam, I can't confirm that that was the source but I know it there weren't any of these until after i stopped playing. It seems to only affect chrome. To start I uninstalled RCT just to be sure but it didn't work. Next I checked recent downloads and the last one (excluding RCT) was two days ago and none of this stuff was happening until this afternoon like I said. Next I looked at chrome extensions and settings, nothing there so I turned on my adblock. The ads disappeared but blank spaces took their place so adblock isn't an option.next i ran malware fox and malwarebyte in safe mode and they didn't detect anything. Any help would be appreciated and thank you for your time.
