Typing on my ipod btw. Anyways random ads start to pop up now even when internet explorer isnt runing (im using chrome).

Ads are still popping up. Please post help because Im scarred because my dad will kick my ass if he finds out. Halp. D:


Try looking for the Virus in a Virus Scan...


scan your computer and get rid of pesky processes that take up like 200 MB of CPU usage

Disconnect yourself from the internet.

Use another computer to download the installer of AVG.

Copy it to yours and install it, then run a system scan.

mem usage

Run a scan with Malwarebytes' Anti Malware. MBAM will scan memory and registry to remove most threats. Good for ones like this, because it has to be on the memory to be launching ads.

Then, run a Lavasoft Ad-Aware scan. Both of these programs are free and won't take time to download/scan.

Post your results.

Good point with the internet thing, it escaped my mind. I'd try the others before AVG first though.

Don't do this. You can't do it anyway. :V
