Help me remove malware from my PC browsers

How can i remove malware from my PC browsers? it's continuously popping up ads😧
Hi ✌
First step : Download and Scan with Adwcleaner
AdwCleaner recently became a part of the Malwarebytes family. This program is great at removing ad-ware (hence the name) but can also identify and remove other potentially unwanted software that usually runs in the background.

Second step : Download and Scan with Malwarebytes

Would recommend what this guy said, but I'd run AdwCleaner before Malwarebytes to do the first small things first.

You have right 😉 in this case we should run AdwCleaner first 👍
I edited my reply thanks to your remark 👍
Which browser are you using? You can remove the extensions/programs manually or use a tool above as others have posted.

USing mozilla and chrome. Both having the same issue
Next time post the scan reports !
So, if you have still issues with your browsers, i will recommend you to scan and clean with Zoek

Zoek is a cleanup program that removes certain system elements including your web browsers. Since the program is scriptable, it is possible to specify a custom task list to clean specific items.

Zoek is therefore ideal in the case of an infection to clean its Web browsers and certain system components.

In the example, we will clean up different parts of the system, including browsers.

Cleaning is quite long so be really patient.

Download zoek.exe and save it to your Desktop:

Important: Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware programs so they do not interfere with the running of the program.
  • on Windows Vista, 7/8/10, right-click Zoek.exe and select: Run as Administrator

  • give it a few seconds to appear

  • copy/paste the entire script inside the codebox below into the input field of Zoek:
    Code
    createsrpoint;
    ipconfig /flushdns >> C:\zoek-results.log;b
    chrdefaults;
    ffdefaults;
    iedefaults;
    resethosts;
    emptyclsid;
    emptyfolderscheck;delete
    shortcutfix;
    emptyalltemp;
    autoclean;

  • close any open programs.

  • click the Run script button, and wait. It takes a few minutes to run.

  • when the tool finishes, the zoek-results.log is opened in Notepad: the log can also be found on the systemdrive, normally C:\

  • if a reboot is needed, the log will be opened after the reboot.


Please include the zoek-results.log with the next post.
