I just installed CROME and ads cover the screen within seconds after a search making it impossible to see the site I searched. English only!

Please answer the following questions so that we can process your bug report, otherwise, we may have to ignore it.
Also, please put your name, or a screen name, and your email above so that we can contact you if needed.
If you don't want your report to be made public, check that box, too.

Can you provide detailed steps on how to reproduce the problem? 1. I sign onto crome.
2. At the home site every thing is okay until I initiate a search: For instance "NFL.com"
3. once the search begins ad start loading on to the site until the page is unreadable.

Note: Even on this page. As soon as I hover over a field a Pandora ad pops up.!

What should happen when you do the above steps

What actually happened?

Do you have any other comments? If you can, can you please attach a screenshot of the bug?

--- The questions below are optional but VERY helpful. ---

If unchecking all filter lists fixes the problem, which one filterlist must you check to cause the problem again after another restart?

Technical Chrome users: Go to chrome://extensions ->Developer Mode -> Inspect views: background page -> Console. Paste the contents here:

    Hi Louis,

    This sounds like malware rather than an issue specifically with AdBlock. If you can attach a screenshot with the ad(s) clearly marked, I can help you determine which type of virus you're dealing with. Please be sure to capture the entire browser window.
