A couple days ago I downloaded something that had allot of adware and automatic downloads but I removed it all with virus removers and by uninstalling. The only thing left over is a add/popup/redirect virus on all of my search engines and i have tried everything to remove it. I have used allot of virus scanners and allot of deep root scanners but nothing can find it and I noticed it dose not use plugins. The most annoying part of it is a thing called shopping assist and its by a company called Jabuticaba. Any help appreciated.

Already tried it and I don't think any virus scanner will recognize the virus.

These viruses also infect the registry, which is probably why they don't need to deal with a plugin. A plugin is exposed and kinda obvious; a registry entry is a needle in a haystack. You're far from unique here. Some detailed, quite lengthy instructions are here:

Note that the actual program name is different, but the company name is the same.
