Operating System:

Windows 7
Are you using a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system?:

64-bit (x64)
Infection date and initial symptoms:
May 01, 2015. Opened Chrome with all these adds popping up on all sides of the screen. Whenever i clicked anywhere on the page it would open some random add in a new tab.
Current issues and symptoms:

Keeps coming back after multiple scans with different software. Symptoms are same as initial symptoms.
Steps taken in order to remove the infection:
Removed the Chrome extension (until it started coming back but with no extension - somehow manages to do it), AVG Anti-Virus, AdwCleaner, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, HitmanPro, Avast Browser Cleanup, tried uninstalling but there was no program.



^ This guy had the same problem a few days ago, he did a bit more than i did, but apparently he had some pirated things on his computer. All i've done is SpyHunter 4, which supposedly was supposed to fix this...it did not. So, i need the same answers that other guy needed.
