[QUOTE="Karkat Vantas, post: 190831, member: 21898"] I've used Malwarebytes, Adwcleaner, Advanced Systemcare, and Spybot S&D to try to fix the problem, and I'm currently running Combofix. There have been [I][B]three[/B] [B]trojans[/B][/I], countless PUPS, and a few browser helpers. I don't have any malicious extensions or search engines to report as of now that I know of. I also just downloaded Junkware and plan on using it as soon as I finish up CF. And just to be clear, I blame this all on my brothers' torrenting, so I'm not a brainless git who gets herself infected willy-nilly. I know what's harmful and what's not, and frankly this is terrifying. Here are some other bits and pieces that might help out.
