tsugu 589 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 what you are having is adware, not malware. Go to control panel, click uninstall a program and see your most recently installed programs. Most likely, you installed software which came with hidden adware so you should uninstall those.

Cobalt 2,914 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 In case you run into it again, Adware Removal Tool is a good application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
нex 96 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 If you have that problem again, maybe try asking in the Malwaretips forum, in Malware Help>Malware Removal Assitance for Windows (or for mobile or for mac sections) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzy Quatro 1,441 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 For malware I only now the program called malwarebytes but if you're still having trouble is best to reset windows by reinstalling everything, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
