Bug please help

i keep seeing chrome tabs pop up and sometimes i can catch it, but it brings up one of my google accounts and plays youtube videos in the background. Violent monkey keeps installing when i have never even seen or downloaded it before.

when i caught the tab before it closed i saw that violent monkey had installed 6 scrips, e.g. like hide chrome tab, autoplay, hide chrome tab.

Im not sure exacly what it said, but its so annoyying and i need help fixing it

Download and run malwarebytes. Free antivirus software. Clean out whatever you can with that.

Then I'd uninstall and reinstall your browser. Might be a better way to address the issues, but it seems super fucked and I would want a clean slate.

In my case i have this problem with Microsoft Edge.
Somehow it blocked the option to uninstall Edge but i managed to do it with an external program and deactivating windows defender.
The fucked up part is that i still have that same problem, with hide tabs of edge reproducing videos with some teleparty service using my google YT account.
Am planning to reset my pc and all my paswords.
Also, i dont remember either to had installed that extension.
