[QUOTE="jacky8399, post: 390356, member: 36674"] I don't know when did this started to happen, probably last month or so? There [B]WAS some unknown programs [/B]in the control panel and [B][I][U]YES, I DID TRY TO UNINSTALL IT.[/U][/I][/B] It seems to get rid of the adware extension for a short period, but after 14 days or so the adware started to repopulate. And you may ask me, "did you try to uninstall it again?" The answer is NO I CAN'T. It was because it didn't show up neither on the control panel, nor other program-uninstall applications. And you may also ask me, "did you try to remove the extension in chrome?" Yes. I've been always trying to uninstall the extension every time it repopulates, but after some time, it will repopulate as "DiscountBomb" again. But it is not the case this time. This time, the extension doesn't show up on "chrome://extensions" anymore but it still pops up ads. Luckily I had set a flag on chrome which will show all the extensions on the navigation bar and it shows up there this time. I think this is getting weird as it doesn't show up on the extensions page and also it changed its name this time to compareItApplication. And from the extension "Avira Browser Safety" there are now at least 1 tracker which is "AdNexus". I even tried to reset chrome and it didn't work By the way imgur album showing all the things from the extension :"[URL]http://imgur.com/a/5pJ6r[/URL]" And after reading the log file from adwcleaner you should probably ask "y u no remove 'tencent' folder" I tried removing it last time and it removed a software that I often use, I reinstalled the software and it showed up the "tencent" folder again. I don't think it is the software that causes the adware because look, it is a software written by an Chinese company and a lot of people is using that software.

AdwCleaner log will probably be included as an attachment( if I didn't forget) Sorry for the long post because I want to describe my situation as detailed as possible and sorry for random grammar mistakes because I am not a native English speaker.
