Yesterday my brother's computer was showing ads on almost every site, the same ads in the bottom right corner with a black close button. Today, my computer started showing them. I use the same network with him but as a public network to minimize the risk of network infection. The problem is that I NEVER install software from suspicious sources. Does anyone know something about this virus? I have some screenshots for some legit sites with those ads. So my computer is infected, no suspisous Chrome extensions or addons. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    The article http://www.howtogeek.com/209654/scammers-are-using-a-fake-version-of-adwcleaner-to-trick-people/ provides a different link to download AdwCleaner from, but also recommends MalwareBytes. – Jason Aller Mar 20 '15 at 16:47
  • But what about the 2 files and the reg key that it found? Do I have to delete them or is it a false positive – mohamed87 Mar 20 '15 at 17:03
