Unfortunately, I have not seen this article before. You do not have any problems with these programs, but the problem is visited websites. Chances are, that some of them sends and / or save in yours computer malicious assets. Try to determine where you get and have got this stuff.
It isn't the websites since this alert has popped up when Chome only had google.ca open. I removed popup blocker pro last night and haven't gotten any alerts since.
I would never use Chrome (still think Ff is the least horrible one) and also not the CC Pro, but on the Anti-Virus System.. I totally agree. Started this two years,... never... not one problem!
You understand, that 2016 means this is four and a half years old? Maybe that explains "plenty of problems"?
