So this one time I clicked express installation instead of custom and i got this "Positive Finds Ads" on my Google Chrome. Malwarebytes and Adwcleaner can't find anything, Avast is sleeping and CCleaner isn't willing to help me. Even though I reset chrome so I dont have a single plugin in chrome this still comes up when i search something. I have uninstalled every program that could have caused this adware.

Give Super Anti-Spyware a try. I used to use it for all virus removals when iw as working at a PC shop.

 

Also, reset your internet settings and manually check your IP and proxy and hosts files. More than likely, you are running through a proxy now and it is redirecting you to ad pages.

 

Hosts Fix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034Maybe try "hostsxpert"

 

Proxy/IP Settings: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2289942(Yes, it says internet explorer, but these settings are often shared across browsers)

 

Another IP/Proxy fix:

 

 

Mini Tool Box: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/minitoolbox/

Checkmark the following checkboxes:
Flush DNS
Report IE Proxy Settings
Reset IE Proxy Settings
Report FF Proxy Settings
Reset FF Proxy Settings
List content of Hosts
List IP configuration
List Winsock Entries
List last 10 Event Viewer log
List Installed Programs
List Users, Partitions and Memory size.
Note: When using "Reset FF Proxy Settings" option Firefox should be closed.
