This is probably the wrong section but I didn't know where else to put this.

So today and yesterday I've been getting notifications from Chrome that I have a Trojan with a link to a site with a supposed "Virus Protection Software" that will help. This is obviously malware since the site looks nothing like the actual Virus Protection it's masquerading as and has a dumb url. I've tried every virus scan in the book. I've tried looking for it manually. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome. Nothing's worked. I don't know what to do anymore so please if anybody knows how to help I really would appreciate it if you did help.

And you know what the irony is, it's telling me that I have a Trojan, which is true, I do have a Trojan, it's the malware that's trying to get onto my computer.
