remove Price PEEP malware from Chrome

This offered the following steps (which worked) to help me get rind of the Price PEEP malware which also shows off how to manage plugins in Chrome:

  1. Click the link on the right that looks like a little gray box with 3 lines, "maybe looks like a little tablet".
  2. Click on Settings.
  3. At the bottom of the page click "Show Advanced Settings".
  4. On the far left - top of the page, click on "Extensions".
  5. You will see Peep extension....On the far right of the extension you will see a small, gray trashcan.
  6. Click on the trashcan.
  7. Click "yes remove peep".

  1. Thank you! I found it and threw it into the trash. Didn't realize it was malware until I googled it. Just thought it was some stupid ad. Will the evil-doers ever cease? No, they won't. But thanks to people like you, maybe we can stay ahead of them.

  2. Thanks Susie. If you figure out how to get rid of it at IE, I'd love to know. Chrome is the only environment I've been able to clean.
