I don't know what happened but now when I get on Google chrome and get on Railworks America, a bunch of ads pop up in between forums and when i click on a forum a new tab opens saying i need java update or some other random junk like PC speed up and free video player and how I'm the 10,1000 visitor no joke.. I was wondering how to get rid of these obnoxious ads. !*don-know!*

You've got a virus. Try running the freeware version of Malwarebytes.

There are plugins/extensions which can do this as well.

Some people love Google Chrome, but for me personally I found it very invasive, but hey, each to their own likes/dislikes. I had a devil of a time trying to get rid of it. Did some searching on the internet and found I had to hack the registry in order to completely wipe it out. Good luck to you.

Just my **!!2cents!!**

The reason it says Chrome is still running is because, even tho the browser is closed, that virus (on both your PC's I guess) is still running. You need stronger tools.

Malwarebytes is OK, this one kicks booty: http://www.superantispyware.com/

Now, what anti-virus are you running? It must not have a real time scanner if both your PC's are infected. I use Microsoft Security Essentials, it's free and works great: http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-se ... tials.aspx

Run CCleaner: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner it also has an uninstaller tool that will rid of Chrome if you still want to.

This will also uninstall anything: http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uni ... nload.html

Don't renew Norton. Uninstall it and get MSE. I don't and won't pay for good protection that I can get free. *!!wink!!*
