I installed some Freeware a few days ago, declining all of the other programs that says come with it.
Now I keep getting sent to "microsofttechnicians.xyz/emp_support_uk.html" and various other sites, not all the time, but most times when I click on a link.
Yesterday it was worse, a lot more ads were popping up and I also had SearchProtect and something else installed. I ran a threat scan using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and it removed it all. Today, I log on to my computer, go on the internet, and get sent to "microsofttechnicians.xyz/emp_support_uk.html" and other adware sites saying I have to update Flash.
I'm currently running a threat scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, but that's not going to stop it being installed again tomorrow or later. I have uninstalled and deleted the files of the freeware.
What should I do? I'm thinking about wiping my SSD and having a clean install of Windows 10.
Thanks in advance for any help.
