This may have been answered several times but my search didn't come up with any effective answers. So I will explain in detail the current steps I have taken.
I have been watching sports online (Don't have cable) and I believe one of the sites I went to installed some junk on to my computer. In fact I'm not 100% sure it was that specific site but something did because any time I click on a link another window and/or pages open up and sites like youtube have random ad bars popping up at the bottom and say in the corner "These adds are not from this site". At the current time of getting this specific issue I'm not sure when it was, otherwise I would do a system restore and because of reason changes of uninstalls and installs of new software I do not want to go to far back. At the time I didn't have any software preventing or catching these things, and I have installed AVG and Maleware bytes. I have done full scans 3 times now it says it found the threats and remove them, restarts the computer and there back. I'm not sure what these files might be or even where they are, and I'm not even sure those are the files causing these exact problems. Seems more like adware to me because all the pop ups are just adds. Very annoying I might add. To top all of this off my computer seems to be running very slow and it is a recent development so I'm assuming its because of these files. I even tried turning off AVG to see if it speeds things up and still slow. Can anyone point me in the direction of freeware and/or free software that can remove these for good. I'm out of options and need help.
