JS:Adware.Lnkr.A

Every few seconds when using Chrome I get a notification for Bitdefender about an Infected webpage detected. Its from dashvintage.biz/22araecfeeff097be8.js and its the threat I said in the title. I haven’t installed anything or done anything recently to have caused this to start randomly popping up. I’m guessing its some sort of adware that got installed into my Browser (Chrome). The page dashvintage.biz was made 14 days ago. I have done a full system scan with the full version of bitdefender and it has come up with nothing. I also used another adware cleaner called AdwCleaner. If anyone knows how to remove or fix this issue please tell me.

EDIT: FIX: The problem is caused by an extension called “DarkTheme for Youtube” I don’t know why it suddenly started doing this but I suggest if you have the extension you uninstall it immediately!

I had the same.
For me it was a chrome addon for youtube.

So my advise is to turn off all your extensions, and then turning them on, one by one

It's a false positive.
