:mad: Is Google Crome getting Hacked? Yesterday I was trying to go to several websites and this ad kept popping up and trying to direct me to another web ad. It made the computer almost useless, and kept getting stuck. I got a warning that there were hackers. Has anyone else been having this problem?

Yep, unfortunately it sounds like you have gotten some adware, spyware or a virus on your computer. If you are on windows, try running Microsoft Defender (also called 'security essentials' on older PCs).
Check your extensions on google chrome. Menu>Settings>Extensions. Disable all the ones that you don't recognize or that look suspicious.
I'd also download some spyware removers from the following websites:
