My father downloaded a fake Flash from a site claiming he needed to update Flash on 3/16/2016 on Microsoft Edge. Since then Microsoft Edge is overrun by pop-up ads (many using something called DNSUnlocker). I used this link: Remove pop-up ads from Microsoft Edge browser (Guide) and followed every step and repeated the process multiple times, however, nothing I've done has fixed the problem. I don't know what else to do at this point. I've attached the logs requested but I can attach the logs from all the other scans I did if you need them. Please help. Thank you.

Ran the Zoek scan. I'm pretty sure I disabled all the Anti Virus and Anti Spyware programs.
