f you really think there is an issue with Calibre's site causing Chrome to install adware, please find the place on the site that's doing it, gather all the evidence you can and pass that on to Kovid so he can deal with it.

But are you sure your Windows Chrome is not already infected and that infection is installing adware When you've removed the adware and then run Chrome?
