Please help. The problem first started approximately a month and a half ago the first signs were advertisements being displayed in the middle of the webpage that I was on and pop up advertisements also when clicking on web links they wouldn't always open. I've tried a few different adware/malware programs that I have run and I'm still having the same issues, there has been no change. I've attached copies of the FRST, Addition and AdwCleaner txt files.
Thanks.

It seems to be. I've been using the computer this evening without any adware or pop ups. Thanks for all your help, what was the problem?

Malicious extension.


The following will implement some post-cleanup procedures:

=> Please download DelFix by Xplode to your Desktop.

Run the tool and check the following boxes below;
checkmark.png
Remove disinfection tools
checkmark.png
Create registry backup
checkmark.png
Purge System Restore

Click Run button and wait a few seconds for the programme completes his work.
At this point all the tools we used here should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:\DelFix.txt)

The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.


Zoek remove.

Cheers!
