I have not clicked it but behind it is a Google Membership Rewards screen saying that I have wone a google gift.
My wife is also getting a similar message
I have run virus and malware check but it doesn't find any. What should I do.

Hi,
Sounds like click bait to me.
Ignore it.
Try clearing caches and cookies.
As a last resort you could create a back up and factory reset.

Thanks for the sugestion and I have done that .
When I look at my chrome browser hostory I see things in there that I have not gone into eg maxonclick.com which when I have googled it appears to be adware. I have tried to clear the data and cache on the applications manager internet but it just comes back.
I suppose that I will need to do a factory reset next?
