Hi
Aldert,


Google Chrome is very popular browser and has a high security when it comes to advertisement download links.

But still if you are getting many download links, then
you can use the below methods to clean up your browser:


Method 1: Enable Chrome's Pop-Up Blocking Feature

  1. Click on the Chrome menu icon in the upper-right corner of the browser, and
    then click on Settings.
  2. Click on the Show Advanced Settings link at the bottom.
  3. Scroll down to the Privacy header and click
    on the big Content Settings button.
  4. Scroll down a little bit more in the window
    that appears until you see the Pop-ups section. The option “Do not allow
    any site to show pop-ups” should be selected; if it isn’t select it. Click
    Done.chrome1




Method 2: Check Your Approved List of Sites
  1. Follow steps 1 to 3 above. 
  2. Scroll down to Pop-Ups and click on
    the large “Manage exceptions” button.
  3. If there are any entries in the ensuing
    window, move your mouse to the far right of each row until an X appears. Click
    that X. Click Done.chrome2






Method 3: Install an Ad-Blocking Extension
  1. Click the Menu button on the top right and click Settings.chromesettings 257x400
  2. Click Extensions on the top left and click Get More Extensions.chromeextensions 658x400 
  3. Search for an ad-blocker such as Adblock Plus and click Free to install.
  4. Set the ad-blocker up to block Malware as well as pop-ups during the
    configuration. With Adblock Plus you also can nuke social media buttons
    and prevent sites (and ad companies) from tracking that which you do on the
    Web. 
  5. You can also click on the icon in your Chrome browser to customize Adblock
    Plus to a greater degree, if you so desire.








Method 4: Uninstall Odd Software
  1. Go to your Windows Control Panel and click Uninstall a
    Program. 
  2. Click the Add/Remove programs link (or
    Programs and Features, depending on what version of Windows you’re running). 
  3. Perhaps an app that you accidentally installed
    as a package deal alongside an app that you actually wanted, a strange
    game-sounding program that’s appeared out of nowhere, or anything that just
    doesn’t sound quite right. 
  4. If you don’t recognize an app that you have
    installed, you might want to consider uninstalling it – it could be the source
    of your pop-up problems.chrome5



I hope this helps in cleaning up your Google Chrome from the multiple links you are seeing for download.

Lokesh
