Hi guys
I have a stupid pricce chop virus thing on my PC, adverts keep poping up.
I have gone to add and remove programmes but there is nothing there….I have only recently reformatted my PC. I have also ran malware and it hasn’t found anything.
Any suggestions?
Regards

Its a browser add on isnt it? Bet you have inadvertently ticked/not ticked a box whilst installing progs.
Check your extensions."If you no longer go for a gap, you are no longer a racing driver" - Ayrton Senna0 -
What do you mean extensions?
the ad pops up when I browse sites, BBC website for example0 -
Its an extension to your web browser that you have put on unwittingly by not checking what you have been installing.
Be careful in future but I see Zennith has given you a decent tool to remove it but heres how to do it step by step

It won't be in add/remove programs but in extensions within your browser settings.0

Wipe out all harmful items of it , go check places like temp file folder, registry, start-up list and browser extensions.0
