Subject: [dba-Tech] Brutal Crapware

Somewhere, somehow, I picked up some crapware that is without doubt the rudest I have ever encountered. When I'm running Chrome, every few minutes, a very loud commercial appears in a window in the lower right corner of the Chrome window -- no matter which tab I'm on. Yes, I can close these annoying little bastards, but they are sooo distracting (which, from their point of view, means they are a success).

These ads do not appear in FireFox. I don't know about IE since I seldom if ever use it.

I suppose that I could un-install Chrome and then re-install it, to see if that cures the problem, but before doing so, I thought I'd ask whether anyone knows what this intrusive software is, so I can put it out of my misery once and for all.
