    if you've truely cleaned out (uninstalled bogus PUPs) your spyware/adware.. then maybe all you have to do is remove any bad extensions from your browsers.. if you don't see any bad extensions, then resetting your browser will do it.. as sometimes they are hidden. however, i will leave you with how I would remove malware

    my general advice for all malware is this

    these days what is much more common are PUPs..potentially unwanted programs that gives adware that came in a bundle with something else.. or someone happened to visit a shady site with popups...

    run adwcleaner and junkware removal tool .. you can get them here

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/windows/s...

    and then do additional cleanup with MBAM

    https://www.malwarebytes.org/

    then go check your browsers for any "bad" extensions.. remove if possible.. if none are seen, and you still have adware in your browsers, then you'll need to reset your browsers.. (google on how to reset them)..

    you may not need this now.. but for virus / trojan detection that you can use in conjunction with any real time AV you have. these scan tools don't offer real time protection but are good removal tools

    online scanner from eset

    http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner

    and / or kaspersky's avptool

    http://www.kaspersky.com/antivirus-removal-tool?fo...

    after it's cleaned out... install just one popup blocker adblock plus and another addon called noscript

    check out Baidu http://antivirus.baidu.com/en/

    top rated.... extremely fast install and scans... very low on cpu usage
