Adware-cannot remove

[Win7Guy]

So I decided to startup GTA V and I was greeted with some nice ads, first in the Steam overlay web-browser then on the GTA V Launcher. It says "Powered By counterflix". I cannot figure out how to get rid of this. Also I do not trust submitting my password to login into GTA due to ads poping up when I press/hoover over the entry fields.

Go into programs and features and uninstall Counterflix  I would also recommend downloading Malware Bytes anti Malware and running a full scan after the uninstall.

 

Could also try going through this guide:

Prevention is the best medicine. Avoid downloading every program and be selective about what's allowed on your PC.

 

While it looks cheap, SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition is my personal favorite removal tool. It's the best for adware, trojans, worms, and spyware (including tracking cookies). Malwarebytes may be mildly better for rootkits and malware.

Be careful with if you do use ADWCleaner, it can cause problems with winsock. If you end up not being able to connect to the internet after using ADWCleaner, try a winsock reset in command prompt. | netsh winsock reset
