Adware pop ups

Hi, seems that my daughter has clicked on a quiz on Pin Interest & infected our PC.

Video ads are now appearing & text is highlighted in forum pages re adverts.

I have tried Malwarebytes but they are still there.

Any ideas or should I just put the Windows 7 disc in a clean the PC.

Seems to be something called as Razor Web.

Any ideas.
I have tried deleting FireFox but it is still there on reinstall.

These should clear it.

Re-installing Chrome or Firefox is invalid. So either you can download some powerful tools to help you, or try to restore the system.

Just back after a few days away & Malwarebytes spotted it cleared it out .

Cheers for the help.

So now, if you have clean computer, I recommend to you, to make a backup, if happens something like this in the future, you can go back to normal
