my little brother used my pc and was playing around ( i thought he was on steam) ended up getting malware which i promptly removed and i ran super anti spy ware malware bytes adwcleaner and finished it up with rouge and rkill so everything is cleaned up or so i though i keep getting popup's for installing search protect and i removed it with rouge killer and it keeps coming back ideas? i"ve been working for a tech support shop for about 2 months and never seen anything like this because it keeps coming back and ive only been using netflix / steam and i also checked ms config and checked the start up stuff i got nothing at this point.

Check your browser extensions, and do a quick registry look, to see if anything is still in there. Sometimes these things have to be manually removed. Search protect is especially annoying!

Yes, getting a "second opinion" is key

Trend Micro has a free scan available if you install it also OP

Yeah, there is an installer on your machine somewhere. Check if it installed Cnet installer by any chance.

Trovi is bad

Search protect is bad and is often bundled in with other baddies

PC optimizer pro is bad too

what the fuck did he do to your PC?

 

Also I see these every single day at work, it's fairly common. People clicking popups or downloading shit from CNET is the most common thing.
