So I was looking through my control panel programs list and I found a program called "Blasteroids," after googling it, I found out it's an adware software. I have no idea how it got on my computer, so I tried uninstalling it, only to get blocked by Norton. I went online and installed an anti-malware software called "SpyHunter4", and it scanned my system revealing a shit ton of adware on my computer, all centered around Blasteroids. After the scan, it asked me to buy their product to remove it, I obviously refused because it was $30 when I already have Norton.
I tried again at removing Blasteroids and it worked, the program disappeared from my control panel programs list. Then I proceeded to do a full system scan with Norton and a spyware scan with Windows Defender, they found nothing. I also restored the default on Mozilla, just to make sure.
Then I turned pale at the random appearance of an ad by Blasteroids when I clicked on a few links while browsing game stats and even here on Tom's Hardware....Keep in mind, I have Norton internet security enabled on my browser and Adblockplus, so where the hell are these ads coming from, and why do they all have "ads by Blasteroids" written underneath them?
