It's not a virus; it's an adware.
I suggest you try to find some anti-adware software, or perhaps reboot your OS and start on a fresh you probably got more than just adware, so if your computer is slow, this could fix that aswell. Ads |

I would suggest you to try out MBAM(http://www.superantispyware.com/) to scan your computer with.

Try this:
Firstly, boot your computer to the Safe Mode menu screen. You do this by repeatedly pressing F8 as soon as you boot up. Once there, use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode with Networking. Continue to boot from there, by pressing Enter. You will now see some drivers being loaded. There will be a pause at some point. This usually lasts for no more than 30 seconds. If that's successful, download and run TDSSKiller.exe from Kaspersky Lab. It's tiny, and takes just a minute to run. It hunts down and kills a specific family of rootkits: http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208280684 Regardless of the results, download the free version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM). Install it, get updates and run a full scan (still in Safe Mode). This is a direct download link. Copy and paste it into your browser’s address bar, and press Enter. http://www.myantispyware.com/mbam After that, boot normally and run another full scan with MBAM. It will detect any malware that wasn’t running in Safe Mode. If the problem still exists, download and run the free Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool: http://www.kaspersky.com/antivirus-removal-tool?form=1 You should now delete TDSSKiller.exe and the Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool, as updated versions are often made available. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware can be easily uninstalled, should you wish to do so, but it may prove to be beneficial in the future. Hope this helps. |
