browser adware keeps coming back, antivirus isnt removing it/not detecting

[iloveapplepieman]

Hello. Recently I downloaded a program, which I quickly uninstalled shortly after realizing it was some shady russian one. Now every once in a while, a tab will briefly open on chrome before closing shortly after. I've tried using malwarebytes and adwcleaner but it isn't going away. I'm not sure what to do, this hasn't happened before.

Hello,

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

​

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finishes FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

Is this happening in every browser or just in one?

I don't use any other browser, so I wouldn't know. I'm pretty sure it's just this one.

Is it happening in all browsers?

I think its better to backup the bookmarks and delete the compromised profile data to start afresh.

Please try to do so.
