    Download and install Malwarebytes from - https://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/

    and Bitdefender Adware Removal Tool - http://www.bitdefender.co.uk/solutions/adware-remo...

    Avast anti virus - https://www.avast.com/en-gb/index

    Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore and follow the instructions to delete all restore points and switch it off. Malware can hide in here and re-install itself.

    Right click on the icon for Malwarebytes and select Run As Administrator. It may ask you to scan again on reboot, if thats the case, let it.

    Repeat for Bitdefender.

    Once you have cleaned your machine, install Sandboxie. A sandbox ghosts your OS on to a section of your hard drive, nothing in the sandbox can move itself outside it.

    Close the sandbox and everything is deleted.As long as you scan your downloads before moving them out of the sandbox, nothing can infect your pc.
