Ads in Windows 10
-
Yeah, I've seen a LOT of malicious Chrome extensions recently. It's a plague.

@Dashrender I get pop-ups from sites, Firefox here, asking to push live updates. I've absentmindedly clicked YES and then those kinds of things started happening.
Now, it's been quite awhile so I don't remember how to turn that off. :S

I'm not ready to go all postal on notifications. Some of them are kinda nice. i.e. if you use gmail - getting notices that a new email arrived is nice.

@Dashrender We are having this issue now too. What did you decide to do?

I believe he disabled just the individual source of the notifications. In this case the Chrome notifications from the shady websites.

Yep, that's what I did - disabled the specific website that the user had allowed to notify.
