back up ur personal files and reformat is the easiest and safest thing to ensure u completely get rid of them all.
And maybe setup a guest account in the future for ur gf/mom's use to prevent such incident again ;)

well all my scans are coming up clean, and I even did the like 4 hour full system scans. And I don't think it's a RAT or anything that wouldn't show up in a scan because none of my banking information or Runescape stuff has been touched. I just mainly want to know if anyone knows what the hell is up with the linking text stuff.

But the guest thing is a pretty good idea... That way I can save all my favorite porn all in folders right on my desk top, brilliant :sasmokin:!

LOL Just get adblockplus. You also realize that those ads represent whatever you search right? If you search sexy women in google 24/7, whenever you visit a site that has google ads, it will display singles in your area or some crap like that.

But like I said, just get adblockplus for chrome or firefox whichever you use.

it's not a virus it's adware it's not on your computer to harm it in anyway it's sole purpose is to continue to reinstall itself so that you will continue to use itself it most likely is saved to another location e.g. a backup basically that reinstalls that software that you deleted and it doesn't come up as a virus because it technically doesn't harm your computer and it's not a virus it's a program that is made specifically to detect if the software is on your computer if not it will automatically install it without prompting the user.


I hope this helps

your computer might have also had your cookies sold to a web advertising company I have that same problem myself with the adds.

but I don't understand, what did I do for these things to start? I've never had this before, and out of the blue these hyperlinks started coming up.

EDIT: maybe my girlfriend is lying and did try to install that "playa lot games", and also contracted the adware when downloading it!??! If so, where can I find this adware to uninstall it, since I already uninstalled all the game stuff?

If not there, check again for random installed programs.

all someone would have to do is click a link anything that is set to adware and by accident agree to download it it's not very hard to do many people if they don't know what they are doing will do it by accident to get rid of the link that popped upped screen idavertently downloading the adware which is adversing the hyperlinks probably it could be an addon in mozilla fire fox check this folder and see if the file is there if you have windows 7 C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming this is where i add an add on search bar pop up and start these adds from see if anything is in that folder or this one C:\Users\Admin\Downloads finally check this one C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp
if anything resembles what the programs name is delete it and recycle bin delete it all at once

Yup, it was in extensions, "rivalgaming" added the same date as all that other crap". there was one more "saving app" that was on there from same date as well. Sorry I am seeming like a computer illiterate, I should have known to check there... I just hate it when things happen to my computer that I don't know where they came from (other people do shit on my computer), gets me..flustered :p.

but there were two options "disable" and "remove". I hit remove, but it's still there, and says "undo" or "restart" for them. I'll figure out how to completely remove them soon enough... I'm going to be making a guest log in soon..

he said the same thing as me in lesser words.... lol
