You can try hijackthis.
Too complicated. HijackThis is actually meant for more advanced users. It'll only get really confusing trying to manually fish through hundreds of files and picking out this and that.
i think that is what i have =/
when i google something.... links would show up... but when i click on the link it automatically direct me to some advertisement. ..
is there an EASY solution to this? i tried restore my system to an earlier point but it doesn't even let me.... i currently have avira antivir.... it's free so obviously the protection i get is very limited....
what can i do? do i just have to fork over money to buy a anti-virus program? thanks in advance! if so.. which one? (a user-friendly one please)
also... can someone tell me if whatever i have... or think i have.. is potentially damaging to my system? and things like maybe i shouldn't be checking my bank accounts... etc...
The easiest way is F8 at start up and restoring it to an earlier date before you caught the malware (it's betterr if you know exactly when you caught it). It won't affect your photo, music, and general files. If you recently installed softwares, you may have to re-install them once the restoration is completed. Anti-virus programs are meant for viruses, otherwise they are useless for malwares. Malwares are
not viruses, but malwares
will keep picking up viruses and other annoying things.
You can try Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:

There are different types of malwares, but there are ones that steal banking information. If you're unsure of what type you have, look it up online or don't bank online until you get rid of it.
