Stop using Microsoft Windows and change to a decent operating system with a proper security infrastructure. Pretty much any operating system not developed by Microsoft fits the bill: Linux, BSD, Mac OS, BeOS, Plan 9, &c., &c..

And that virus is great for getting passwords and bank details. Wipe everything and start fresh. It's malicious and infects everything, a bit like <BBQ>.

but you really should know what you are doing.
As you had tto ask here I presume you do not so get someone who really can to do it to be sure or if possible format and reinstall to be really safe. On the other hand if you do not use the compfor ecomerce or banking i guess it does not matter.

Now on Baidu and it is running without interuptions and redirections.

No it is not simply a chrome issue.
Most of the time you will only get adds through it and your browsing tracked but it makes you more vunerable to password logging if you use ecomerce.
What you do is up to you. you may think by not using chrome you are safe but there is still risk.

I run this at time (see link below) and its has worked well on the office system and the boys P.C.s,one of the few decent products from Microsoft and it's free

Personally though I find myZone Alarm (free) which I have used for the last ten years pretty effective at combating those J,W, type of apps etc

A very good tool. In fact if you have autouppdates on and defender enabled it runs once a month checking your computer deeply. However some things are classified as legitimate as they deliver advertisments and you have ticked a box accepting the ddownload (in the small print of something else) these many tools will not remove as they can be sued for doing so.
