I’ve gone to the chrome settings and looked for any extensions, add ons etc that might be causing it, nothing. I’ve scanned my laptop for viruses and the like several times, nothing. I’ve checked the programs I have installed, nothing. I can’t seem to get rid of this yourtv.link.

I have downloaded every virus scanner i can find and nothing is helping! If anyone knows how I can get rid of this, please help!!
