how to stop malware ad keep appearing on home screen
Tab "how to stop malware ad keep appearing on home screen" appears every time I boot up my PC Windows 10. I have tried Settinngs > Security > Sites >
Block, but this tab keeps appearing. I have taken a screenshot of the homepage if this helps.

Which ad? Which Home Screen?

 

You may want to scan your computer with anti-virus software, in case you have some kind of Trojan files installed?

Looking at the screenshot in the original post, I suspect it is the users actual initial 'home screen', in which case a full malware/trojan scan is the best option.

I suggest they download and run 'Malwarebytes'- and/or use the Microsoft scanner.

I have tried running Malwarebytes and AVG Antivirus. Both show no threats.

Have you tried Windows Defender as well?

I am surprised MWB didn't find anything, TBH, because it is obvious there is something there. Have you recently downloaded and installed any apps?

Looks like you've inadvertently added the webpage to the Chrome Startup

 

On your computer, open Chrome.

At the top right, select More   Settings.

Under 'On startup', select More   Edit or Delete.

I can see on Start Up the two sites which keep appearing on boot up, but I cannot see how to delete them. When I click on the three dots to the right  of the site address, the drop down menu does not show Edit or Delete.

I think I may have solved it. I opened Settings > On Start Up > Open a specific page or set of pages. I deleted all apart from Google.co.uk. When I boot up, the tabs are no longer there.
