How to remove "Start Savin"

Hi there
I have recently noticed something called "Start Savin" on my PC. It basically looks like adverts popping up. Despite having a pop up blocker and all my security (Norton) switched on.
I have done numerous scans and tried to remove it from Add/Remove Programmes. It said "It has already been removed" but it is still showing ads constantly. It is very annoying.
The only programme I have installed lately is Audible (audiobooks). I dont download music or films so cant think how I have managed to get this on my PC.
There are many sites telling you how to uninstall it but they seem to need to install a load of other programmes in order to do it (Adwcleaner, Junkware removal tool, Malwarebytes, Hitmanpro) so this makes me a bit suspicious. I really am not up with all the technical stuff so would appreciate it if anyone else has come across this and the best way to remove it.
I thank you in advance.

Trustworthy guide http://malwaretips.com/blogs/start-savin-virus-removal/
Adwcleaner should remove it.
The others are alternatives/insurance, to be run if required.0 -
Thank you for your advice. That was the page I had been looking at for advice but I don't find it straight forward to understand.0
