BrWOWser has controlled Google Chrome and keeps letting out ads.
"I suspected something had been installed on my computer. I went to my programs list in the control panel. Sure enough, I saw several programs, which I know to be adware. (like tredmous sales, BrWOWser, and incermedit to name a few) I uninstalled these and tried my browser again. No much luck, the adware were still there. And for some reason a google chrome window still appears with ads powered by BrWOWser although I had not clicked on chrome at all. I've tried my best to get rid of it but still not working. Help. I've been already at my wits' end."
