Hi Gunjan,

You can follow the below methods to get rid of these irritating download links.
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.
Method 4: Remove unused programs from Control Panel
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.
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.
When the the Uninstall a Program screen is displayed, scroll through the list of currently installed programs and remove the following:
  • PlayGEM
  • GoSave
  • Extag
  • SaveNewaAppz
  • and any other recently installed application
I hope this helps in fixing the issue so that you can surf interent without those links.

Regards,
Lokesh
