How do I get rid of persistent adware?

Question

From yesterday, a whole bunch of adware was installed on my computer. I got rid of the most of them, mainly home page redirections and a strange search engine. But I've still got pop ups non stop and only on Google Chrome. Somehow I managed to get Internet Explorer clean (which is almost hilariously ironic) but Google Chrome is awful.

I've deleted all unknown files from my computer, I've run CWshredder, Ad-Aware, AVG, Malwarebytes, and Spybot, but they only detect tracking cookies. I've turned off System Restore and deleted all of my extensions. I even reinstalled Chrome but the pop ups are still there.

Does anyone have any ideas of what else I can do? There must be something?

Also he ad source seems to be adsdelivery.com or something along those lines, if that makes any difference.

best way to tell ether its even a adware its has to be installed to your computer, if its not its a bach file (common virus file).
to determine that do the following...
(1) go to tour start menu
(2) click control panel
(3) underneath programs click uninstall programs
(4) search the list and uninstall all programs that are bad (do some research though some programs are vital for you computer!
(5) try to go on Google chrome again and see what happens, if so continue with steps...
(6) well apparently you don't have adware you got viruses "congrats!" any way this means it has to be a common batch file...
(7) run a full on secure security scan on your computer because they could be anywhere!
(8) while scan is running go to your start menu> click control panel> system and security> and defragment your hard drive (meaning your computer is going to take your memory and clean out the junk
(9) i recommend getting avast antivirus. its awesome, helps you if a sites good or not and will block almost all viruses when your online (remember i say almost because virus protection is not 100%)

anyways i hope this works for you!

Conduit is one of the worst browser-hijackers. Search down your program list in programs and features for anything in either the Program column or the publisher column. Also, scan the registry for any references to Conduit and scan the entire drive for files named or containing Conduit. Likewise search for anything with the name of this search site that keeps coming up.
