UPDATE: Did everything you guys told me to do, still haven't reinstalled chrome, but now it's also showing up in Mozilla, doesn't show up on Edge or Opera, although now adwcleaner doesn't find anything, I'm gonna install chrome now and see if anything changes. UPDATE #2: Just installed chrome again and there they are, bugging me again.

I can see them, which is why I find it specially weird. I'll try that. I'll do that if what @jkeasley said doesn't do the trick.

So my dad got adware on my PC, and I'm having some trouble getting rid of it. It isn't an app I can just uninstall, and it doesn't seem to work as a chrome extension. When I run AdwCleaner or Malwarebytes it shows 3 files in c:\users\user\appdata\local\google\chrome however when I look for them they don't seem to show up, anyway I can remove them with AdwCleaner, but after a reset I start up chrome and the files come back. I've tried AdwCleaner, Malwarebytes, reinstalled Chrome, reinstalled chrome after removing the files and before they came back, and they are still there. It's a weird adware since it only shows up in a handful of sites. If it helps on the ads that display it says "PayClick" and the names of the malicious files are "ask.com", "babylon.com" and "aol.com". Thanks in advance guys

Nevermind, rebooted and it's back.... Malwarebytes says it's clean though.

That did it! Thank you sir!

Yeah everything is in check in chrome settings, startup page is google.com, default search engine is google, default browser is chrome, there's literally no reason to still have that page come up, I don't even use startup pages I have it set to continue where I left, but it just opens a new tab of that site when I start up.

Ok so the threats malwarebytes found have been removed from my system and the scans say my system is clean, but the homepage in chrome is still that fake bing website, in chrome setting the homepage is google.com, so I don't know why it's still coming up if my system is "clean"

It is indeed a program that changes it back, but like Manikyath said, it wasn't as simple as that sadly.

Yes, worked until I rebooted the system.

Yeah I'm gonna try doing that, I just ran malwarebytes and it found a program called hijack homepage and some registry stuff related to it, rebooted and still have it. Currently running another scan.

Hmm gonna try downloading malwarebytes and see if it helps, thanks!

Hello People! Sooo my dad setup a new printer on my computer without my supervision and he downloaded some "driver" from some website that turned out to be fake shit, shocking right? Anyway, I removed it for the most part but now every time I open up google chrome it opens up a fake bing website as if it was my home page, I've checked every possible setting inside chrome and there's no sign of it and I don't know how to get rid of it, any help is much appreciated!

Depends on the game. On CSGO it has a pretty decent impact, it lowers my frames from 350 to around 275, but on other games it doesn't make much of a difference,

The longer you stay in a rank the more dug into it you will be, and the slower your Elo will rise, that's why DMGs stay at DMG for so long, it's working fine. It's not broken, it's just a bad system for the way it's used.
