The malware is back...ugh

Everything I have tried so far has failed. So I was sitting back and enjoying a Let's Play when all of a sudden, a new tab opens. Before I can close it, some fucking shit downloads to my computer. Luckily I quickly deleted it, but that scares me. I'm now afraid to leave my computer alone at all.

take all the files you care about and store them on a usb

reinstall windows

reinstall your programs

congratulations, no viruses
 
I've had a little of your problem in Chrome too, turns out to be that one extension had installed an adware without my knowledge.

I have programs that I no longer have the installation crap for. Plus that sounds really tedious.
 
look man you gotta choose between having adware and all your programs or not having adware and having to reinstall all your programs

there's probably not a magic way to just poof all the adware away. from what i'm hearing your computer is totally doomed and needs to be exorcised

besides, i doubt you REALLY need all the programs you'll have to reinstall
 
Photoshop and Premiere are a couple big ones that I frequently use. I no longer have the files needed to install those.

those two programs are probably...you know
 
I'm not going to say it but if those programs are such a big issue and that you absolutely need to have them back....well I'm not going to break any rules here.

a.k.a. There's a way to get those programs back, but it requires personal messaging.
 
Oh, I got it. That's still kinda tedious. I also have several custom fonts but I bet I can copy those to an external hard drive.
 
they think your versions of photoshop and premiere are pirated and you're not allowed to share pirated links here

you probably got yourself into this mess by downloading some pirated programs that came with adware
