Hmm. Okay. Your answer is one I will 'tuck away' in the part of my Toolbox where I keep things I don't understand but may still help me some day.
At this point, I deem my knowledge/time not enough to successfully execute or experiment with. I've kept my experimentation & learning with OS quite low and generally go with the flow, other than using various tools to undo the weird changes brought to modern v's of Windows, like I love ExplorerPatcher.
For now I'm going to try 1 or 2 free tools, like Housecall by TrendMicro. If those don't affirmatively declare to me that they've found and eliminated the virus, I may do a factory reset.
For now, my parents are blissfully ignorant: They're happy I told Windows "turn off Chrome notifications", so it seems like the problem doesn't exist. Despite my strict warnings to them not to thank me yet, they can't help not caring much about the problem now ... But I'm scheduling another tech session soon to follow up as responsibly as I can.
TY
