Some sort of ad displaying mal-ware in gmod? - Sgtbender2000 - 02-16-2014

So recently I've noticed my console being spammed with errors, ads appearing under green underlined words, and audio of ads being played throughout my game.

Here's what's been going on.

Oh yeah, at least we know how it happens.

The ingame browser (yes, the rule page just shows http://www.fearlessrp.net/derma/rules.html) uses the Chrome engine. Try opening Chrome -> Click on the three stripes in the upper right -> Tools -> Extentions. On this page you should remove all that you didn't install yourself.

Will do. Thank you.

It will probably just come back, if you installed some malicious software you need to delete it from the computer. Get an antivirus and scan it, then delete all programs and files you have downloaded the past month, or whenever you first started to see the this.
