Thanks to my friend we deleted everything using TeamViewer, and now i have to install Chrome again (im on my phone now)

Thanks to everyone for heping tho

Guys, i need help AGAIN

So, after i deleted all that Big Farm, Big Bang Empire and Google Chrome, i had to install Chrome again, the problem is that i couldnt for some reason, so i decided to install Firefox and use it

Everything was alright, until today...

I had to left the computer due to exams tomorrow, i decided to take a rest and use the PC, but then i saw them...

Big Farm and Big Bang Empire were AGAIN on my desktop, including Google Chrome that i couldnt install. God not this stuff again

Can somebody help me out?, i cant use Malwarebytes anymore and i have to buy it, but i dont know where since i live in Argentina

you are beyond saving im sorry

Try running windows on safe mode along with using a flash drive with malware bytes and another virus program (one detects malware the other detects a wider range of both viruses and malware) and do a FULL scan. Quarrentine and remove the viruses if detected and completely delete every folder on your PC related to Chrome and those applications, along with uninstalling them via window's "Programs and Features" window to uninstall

>Argentina
There's your problem!

Uh, malwarebytes still works after the trial expires. Where'd you get your copy?

Y'know viruses are malware, right?

the same place he got big bang empire

use this

https://www.malwarebytes.com

when downloading stuff ALWAYS go directly to the website dedicated to it, not some knockoff scam site.

also for a free antivirus, I suggest Avira, Bitdefender, and AVG / Avast

you should be able to use malwarebytes still
I don't think there's a time limit; I think it just doesn't do real-time protection

https://www.malwarebytes.org

ftfy

also he literally just said he can't use it

also you may want to get a second opinion from hitmanpro
edit: looked online and apparently its a virus known as bigfarm.lnk or something, however all the websites that i see to remove it are shady / generalized for other malwares of its category so idk
all the sites were updated 4-5 days ago so this may be a new malware strain

after working in IT and virus removal for a few years, here's what i'm going to recommend to you:

1. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware works great, but does not target everything. Run a scan now. Use it to remove things, but don't ever rely on this program to completely defend your computer.
2. Install a dedicated antivirus software. You're going to need something that offers real-time protection and frequent definitions updates. Don't try to fly without one. Try out Avast, Bitdefender, MSE, etc. Stay away from AVG, that stuff is difficult to uninstall. Can't afford to pay for a premium license? The new Windows Defender in the Windows 10 Creator's Update is pretty fantastic.
3. Run AdwCleaner. This program was recently acquired by Malwarebytes and, as their Anti-Malware program focuses on certain types of malware, this one gets rid of pesky adware. https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/
4. Run CCleaner and uninstall those programs from there. CCleaner is another powerful cleaning tool-- don't forget up though or you could cause some damage. Made by Piriform (the creators of defraggler and speccy), it's a handy tool that I haven't been able to forget. https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

good luck my friend

seems like you may have a rootkit
uh oh. if this is true, you could also try running roguekiller, another program in my virus-killing toolbelt that i use to eliminate rootkits: http://www.adlice.com/download/roguekiller/
