Hey guys.
I turned my computer on this morning, and after accessing the internet, i keep getting these popups every 30 seconds or so from 'us-e-node4.smartyads.com to download a .json file. The file name is different every time a new popup comes up.
I tried a search, but it seems like not many have come across it yet. I did find a suspiciously convenient 'removal tool', but I decided not to download it for obvious reasons.
Ironically, i found a post by someone that was apparently working for said website, and they were asking on the Malwarebytes forum why their website was being listed as malicious.
Anyway, i closed all my internet tabs, re opened it, and now nothing is popping up anymore, but I know these things don't just go away like that.
I have run Avast and Malwarebytes scans, and nothing came up.
Any input will be greatly appreciated, and I will post updates as they come.
