I keep getting a virus threat flagging up in a scan and I don't know what it is?

The location the scan keeps coming back with for the threat is this:

C:\USERS\MYNAME\APPDATA\LOCAL\GOOGLE\CHROME\USER DATA\Default\Web Data

does anyone know what this is or what could be wrong? I logged into Chrome on a new laptop with my Google user and it seems to have carried over. Anyone now what this problem is?

Update:

C:\USERS\MYNAME\APPDATA\LOCAL\GOOGLE\CHROME\USER DATA\Default\Web Data

Update 2:

where is goes ...

it should beCHROME\USER DATA\Default\Web Data

    Go into Google Chrome remove all of those add-ons and extensions clear Google Chrome history sign out of Google Chrome now run Malwarebytes after it removes all the crap that it's going to find restart your computer do not sign back into Google Chrome with the same account that you were using before that should take care of your problem the problem is is any browser or cloud service that keeps syncing with your computer will pick up the viruses that are on your computer and put them right back after you have cleaned your computer
