My HP laptops browsers & Android Browsers got infected first . Chrome was badly hit by pop ups on almost every click.
Any site redirects automatically to the URL starting from ad-type.google.com and then redirecting to Total Ad Performance.com.
I cleaned all extensions from chrome, blocked pop ups, checked all necessary steps to stop these pop us, deleted cache cookies etc. , No useless software or toolbar.
Added Ad Block Plus to Chrome,Scanned with Malware bytes & Avast Security.
As of now i’m a bit relieved as less pop ups are coming but once in 5 min a pop up from Total ad performance comes and avast blocks it as Malware.
But my android Xiaomi Mi3 is badly hit. Chrome ,mozilla , local native Browser ,UC Browser all are getting pop ups at every click.
Finally i decided to factory reset my device (it took guts as i wasted 3 hours in backup and reinstalling)
But still still still even after hard reset browsers had pop ups.
Please suggest me what to do. Im really scared

Unless you did this yourself, malware has changed your Chrome version into the Development Build. Among other things this allows malware to install any extension it wants. We need to resolve this.
If you have bookmarks, let’s save them by exporting them - Export Bookmarks

Now we need to uninstall chrome.
