[QUOTE="swfc-dan, post: 493633, member: 50978"] Hi I've got a problem with malware/adware popups in the Steam client each time I load it up. I've followed your guide here which has removed some infections but hasn't fixed the problem using all the different program scans I've listed above: [URL="https://malwaretips.com/threads/how-to-remove-trojans-spyware-rogues-and-other-malware.6941/"]How to remove trojans, spyware, rogues and other malware[/URL] The latest is a guns and roses ad which when I try and close loads up another popup. I've had it for nearly a week now, it doesn't stop me using Steam but makes it difficult and is very annoying. I have also just noticed I've lost the Cortana search from my bottom toolbar, so I think Cortana has been disabled by by mal/adware somehow. I haven't tried a Steam reinstall yet, if there's any way to do this without losing game installations then I'm willing to try that if it will help. [/QUOTE]
