Phresh Memes 'R Us Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 what did you download... It was a PSP emulator, MIGHT have forgotten to untick a box. My bad. I've deleted all the crap it came with so far, but it's still popping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Prof. Sugarcube♥ Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Then there's an effected registry somewhere in your system. Normally this adware says "Powered by X" search yoru computer for anything named like that. My friend had a virus called PriceChop, and was disguised as PriceChoap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i did to remove my frend's adware was look for any signature for the virus, then search the internet. It would tell me to go to X files and remove them. But the virus kept popping up. So i deleted the files once more, Removed the extension from Google Chrome (IT MIGHT BE IN THERE), then downloaded Malwarebytes and killed it off for good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where most of the other crap was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punishment_Fatal Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Yep, that seems like some sort of malware. Usually it'd pop up as a file in your downloads on your browser, so look for any file that looks suspicious and find it in your system to delete it.

Phresh Memes 'R Us Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Nothing suspicious seems to be in those file destinations. Technically, Malware Antibytes should clear it up, right? I didn't do anything for me, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pão Charmoso Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Try executing the installer of what the adware came with and see if there is any boxes you forgot,if there is search how to remove what it installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free money accepted here Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Try using malware bytes and adwcleaner. If that doesnt work, first try uninstalling them normally, then remove the chrome add on, then delete it from program files or program data or app data.
