Some adware and Malware problems?
Have had a lot of adware and malware problems recently i.e. past 6 months.
Ads pop up all the time usually from stuff like privoxy and Alfasistem memory.
I have tried many things such as
Malwarebytes - Anti malware
Adwcleaner
Hitman Pro
Junkware Removal
deleting registries
resetting and reinstalling chrome
many times over the past 6 months. They do remove a lot of unwanted items each time I use them, however the adware comes back after approximately a week. Looking for a savior <3 thanks a bunch

Use the following tips to stay secure: Reformat your computer before doing any of this. Use Antivirus, antimalware, and a firewall. The best free 2015 combo is: avast 2015, malwarebytes, and comodo firewall. Only use Chrome, Firefox, or safari. Use https everywhere and be careful with what extensions you install. Create a local admin account and use use a standard scclunt for all your other ones, including your main. Reason is if you get a virus or malware, it only has permissions as the user that installed it. Don't click links/anotations you don't trust, don't open emails you aren't expecting and trust. Don't visit websites you don't trust. Don't connect to public wifi or wifi you don't trust. Use a vpn (I recommend hotspotshield or cyberghost for a free one). If there is a app you keep installing after you reformat your computer don't install it and see installing the malware comes back. If all fails use a virtual machine ehile still following these steps(I recommend virtual box for free). Update your apps and os all the time! Make sure your wifi is secure with WPA or wpa2 encryption apllnd use use a strong password. Check to see if your router if it has a firewall, if so make sure it's enabled and working. Hope I helped!
