Need help to remove malware

I was trying to find a service manual for my car and apparently one of the sites I went to infected my computer with some sort of malware.

I'm getting an uncloseable pop up telling me to call 1-844-307-0971.

I found some instructions online, but there is no application on the list of installed applications that matches.

Windows 7 Professional.

Never mind.

It appears that Chrome fixed itself.

It still wouldn't hurt to download the free version of Malwarebytes and run a scan. They also offer a paid version which will actively prevent you from downloading any future malware.

I wonder what happens when you call that number. I wonder what happens if the FTC does so. --Bob

Malwarebytes will clean it for you.
