Hi,
I've followed your instructions to clear offers for you from Chrome and it's still there. There are no extensions installed other than the ones I've always used and I know to be safe. I've reset the browser and I've downloaded an used Spy Hunter, which just crashes every time I try to run it. I'm on Windows 10. I'd be really grateful for any help. Thanks

Hi Kate, I could suggest disabling all Chrome extensions, even the ones you think are safe - I have seen many cases when legitimate and popular add-ons are updated with offers4u ads. Developers of such add-ons need to monetize their free extensions and some of them choose offers4u network as a solution. Having in mind you have already tried SpyHunter, you can also try scanning your computer with AdwCleaner (https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/) and ZhpCleaner (http://www.nicolascoolman.fr/download/zhpcleaner-2/), both of these programs are good at detecting and eliminating adware.

    @Kate: Offers4U had also infected my laptop couple of weeks ago.
    First I clean my laptop with Microsoft Essential Window defender then clean with ComboFix and at the last I clean my laptop with AdwCleaner.
    Thank God Offers4U successfully deleted after completing the process.
