Ads by RespectSale? Adware?

[VH9898]

So, I've downloaded absolutely nothing for weeks, apart from GTA V off of Steam. I get on my computer this morning, and BAM. Popups and everything when I launch Chrome, or try to click a link. I either get a popup, redirect, coupon offers, or just massive, annoying ads (including those god-awful video ads -.-). I've tried ADWCleaner, Hitman Pro, MalwareBytes, and Anvi Smart Defender. I haven't used Windows Defender, though. Any suggestions? It happens to all of my browsers.

Go to the directory where you have installed your windows now proceed as follows
XProgram Files(x86)
In there delete all the folders which are odd one like copoundeals , smart delas ,AdBlocker etc...
Make sure all the folders are deleted and then you'll never have to encouter them again

Did you check the extensions of the browser, or check the Control Panel to see what programs you have installed on your pc?

I wouldn't recommend deleted anything if the OP didn't know what to delete. He/She might delete something that are required.

I actually found it in my registry after looking for hours. It hides out in the Chrome part of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software

RespectSale kept reappearing in Chrome -> More Tools -> Task Manager even after emptying out all Extensions folders.

Steps which fixed it:

1) Empty out the extensions folders for all Chrome profiles: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\<profile number>\Extensions

2) Delete two unsigned DLL files (rightclick each file and see that there is no "digital signatures" tab):

c:\program files (x86|\google\chrome\application\GoogleChromeUpdater.dll
c:\program files (x86|\google\chrome\application\GoogleChrome.dll

Then download and run the chrome installer again.
