We have been shocked to hear the news that Windows 10 is sending SPAM to Chrome users. But where does all this information come from? It is clear that Microsoft is always looking for strategies for its products to be installed and used on computers, but now, it does so as pop-ups in Google Chrome.

Windows 10 sends SPAM to Chrome users

Surely you are aware of the ads in the start menu that affect Windows 10. Well, now things are complicated because we are talking about annoying pop-ups if you have installed the Google browser, Chrome.

As the Engadget guys told us well and we see in the following image, it seems that when Chrome is fixed in the taskbar, an ad appears with the extension of Microsoft's Personal Shopping Assistant . The objective is for you to install this online price comparison, but we have been amazed to see advertising within Chrome itself as we see in the following photo.

The guys at Microsoft take advantage of users who use Chrome and have it set in the taskbar, to remind them through an advertisement that they can install Microsoft's Personal Shopping Assistant for Chrome.

This plugin has been around for a long time, about a year, but this last update is the one causing this SPAM. The funny thing is that the extension is loaded with complaints, because it seems to be working really badly. Most say "it is useless." And we who have tried it, we would not know what to tell you, neither fu nor fa. But you can see it yourself from the Chrome Web Store.

But this news has left us in the dark because it does not seem right to us that Microsoft does this type of SPAM, because even if it is its operative, there are things that are left over and spoil the browsing experience. Will Microsoft end up charging an extra for having an ad-free version in Windows? What do you think?
