My computer has been virused

[Umzipumzi]

While I was on vacations, I left my desktop at my house. Long story short, I'm full of pop-ups and ad extentions in google Chrome.

 

I would really like some help and recommendations. 

 

 

• Which free antivirus should I use?
• How can I get rid of those random redirects saying that I have a virus on my computer?
• Is there a program I can use to remove all this?

 

I've tried disabling the extentions in Chrome but they keep restarting. Sometimes the problem is so bad I can't even use the internet. 

 

I have to end my Chrome processes or else there is no way to keep using the computer.

Avast + MalwareBytes = Works most of times

i prefer comodo and Malware Bytes together

[Umzipumzi]

So you guys are saying I should run both at the same time?

[TyagoDani]

1 - install malwarebytes

 

2 - unistall chrome

 

3 - unistall all the crap that appears on the windows program list

 

4 - reinstall chrome

 

should be it...

malwarebytes is not an antivirus.... it's anti-malware

 

[TyagoDani]

for a free antivirus i would go with avast free

Malwarebytes is efficient for scanning your PC manually... for malware as the name states.

Avast is a real-time virus scanner.

Download and run AdwCleaner

Downlad and run HitmanPro 3

Scan with Malwarebytes

Reboot PC

Happy face

 

This is for removing adware!
