Vividemix3 1,697 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Okay guys, I seriously need your help in getting rid of this stupid virus thing I have on my computer. It's called "findthebestdeeal" and this is what happens. It also highlights random words and so whenever I hover over it, this pop up pops up and it's so frustrating. I literally spent about 2 hours trying to get rid of it but it's not working. I ran my computer through malwarebytes three times already and it doesn't seem like it's picking up on it. I also ran it through trojan killer but the damn thing won't let me kill the viruses unless I register. I used other programs too but it doesn't seem like it's working either. It's making my computer go so slow and I just ugh. If you guys have the time I'll really appreciate it if you guys help me with this OTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog 5,083 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Are you sure this isn't something that's an add-on/extension for your Chrome browser that you need to disable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambi 696 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 If that doesn't work, go to control panel<uninstall a program< delete any unfamiliar names, or just the name of this toolbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkySanta 1,073 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I had a virus that just wouldn't go away once. It went away when I went to a restore point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I did that too but it STILL didn't work. Close out all your windows and check again if it's there in the extensions. if it is just uncheck it, dont delete it if that doesn't work go to settings, scroll to the bottom and click show advanced settings. scroll down again and click reset browser settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I did that too but it STILL didn't work. Did you meant, the pop-up ads? If yes, then try this: If that doesn't work, go to control panel<uninstall a program< delete any unfamiliar names, or just the name of this toolbar ^ I think you should try this. I had the same thing and all I did was uninstalled any programs (usually they're the latest dated ones and the ones you don't remembering installing in the first place.). If you, OP, is having the same situation, then I guess that's one of the solution to come up with. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo's Candy Jelly Ho 3,458 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Check to see if it's a program that's installed on your computer. Even if it appears it's just the browser, it might be installed in your computer plaguing something else. My brother had the same problem and it just kept getting worse and worse (to the point where the ads would pop up on his desktop). I had to manually uninstall all of the related programs (which were all malwares) one by one and then restore the browsers (because it had changed it's homepage and all) and restart the computer.
