While browsing the internet, you might have unknowingly downloaded and installed malware on your computer. This unwanted software can affect how Chrome uses your resources. Malware can produce strange pop-ups, change browser settings, and slow web page loading. If you’ve encountered these signs, you may have a malware problem. To remove malware from your computer, here’s what you need to do:
- Go to your Applications app (in MacOS) or Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features (in Windows).
- Scroll through the list to find apps you don’t recognize or use.
- Select the particular app on the list.
- Right-click on the app.
- Choose Move to Trash (for MacOS) or Uninstall (for Windows).
- (for MacOS) Right-click on the Trash at the bottom of the page and select Empty Trash.
- (for Windows) Follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall the app.
You should also check Chrome itself for any safety breaches. To do so, go to chrome://settings/safetyCheck and select “Check now.” This will check if you have Safe Browsing enabled, harmful extensions installed, weak passwords used, and the latest updates. Follow the recommendations to keep your browser safe.
Some malware doesn’t appear in the list of installed apps on your computer, so using a quality anti-malware scanner is always a wise idea. Yes, even on Mac.
