As a precautionary measure, do a scan with AdwCleaner (for W.XP):

add this list of filters to your adBlocker:

But I have never used AdBlock. Does this mean that the Supermium let in Trojan and I have an infected system?

Don't you use an ads/tracker blocker as a browser extension?

uBlock Origin

uBlock Origin Lite

AdGuard Adblocker v.5.x

There is NO WAY for us to answer that!

We would have to know what web sites you were visiting before, during, and after this notification popped up.

Right there is your "first mistake".

There are a ton of ad-blockers out there.  You would have to try several to find one that fits your needs.  They are not "one size fits all".

SN's suggestions are the most popular.  Odds are high that you will be happy with any one of them.  But there are others.

As far as that goes, "newbies" that don't really want to learn the full how-to to use an ad blocker are likely best served NOT by adding an extension to their browser, but using a browser with an "embedded" adblock feature.

More "advanced" users tend not to use the embedded types, but that does not invalidate their "worth" for newbies/beginners (who later promote to non-embedded).

You really have to "trial and error" and see for yourself which you like best.

In other browsers I use something similar but not in Supermium.

Bad.
You are the perfect user to use uBlock Origin Lite.
Install the extension.
Choose the “Complete Mode.”

Then go into the thread I opened of uBlock Origin Lite and take a screenshot of the filter lists that are selected and then I'll tell you the ones you need to select extra.

At 10:00 I have to go to the doctor.....so before this time.

I have always used uBlock Orign, but what's the defference between them?

"Lite" version is obviously reduced, hence the name, but probably you can't translate slang, it's "light", "lite" is a ghetto slang.

Either will work with Supermium, so there's no need to use "Lite".

The main difference is that uBlock Origin is MV2.
The others I listed are MV3.

Raymond Hill will waste no time developing uBlock Origin for Chromium-based browsers after that extension is removed from the Chrome Web Store and the Microsoft Store.

So unless there are independent developers who will continue the development of a fork of this extension,with a reliability,in my opinion,reduced to at least 50%,sooner or later every user will have to consider this transition.

Or go elsewhere,DNS blocking,AdGuard for Windows,Chromium-based browsers with native ads/trackers blocking capabilities..........

I see, thankyou, but I remember that many users hate mv3

try --make-default-browser

and there is a plugin could make chrome to a portable software(but it looks unable to use on XP ):

https://github.com/Bush2021/chrome_plus

Thanks, adding "--make-default-browser" to the Supermium shortcut doesn't start it. I tried "--make default browser" without the hyphens, and it does start.
Neither method immediately set Supermium as the default browser.
However, when I restarted Windows XP, Supermium appeared as the default browser.
So, I don't know which method was used to set the default browser.

From what I am investigating you must also manually assign the HTM and HTML extensions to be open with Supermium. But this will not work if the command "--make-default-browser" is not added to direct access, before or after assigning extensions.

At least when I put the hyphens in Supermium doesn't start, I really don't know when the default browser was assigned.

try to run "chrome.exe --make-default-browser",it's  useful on XP for me

I've used this program with great success to register programs with the system.
It works fine on XP.
