    Okay, I'm at my wits' end. Apparently, my computer got some adware I can't seemingly be able to get rid of. They pop up on the right corner of my desktop. I've tried Adware Cleaner, Rogue Killer and ESET, but it still persists. I'd try Malwarebytes, however, it seems it doesn't want to work, every time I try to run it a window appears saying "Unable to connect the service." God, my pc is messed up... ugh...

    These windows above are saying that there's some error I need to fix, and no, I don't always get those kinds of pop-ups, I get ads too and... some kind of porn, I think? Sweet Jesus, I just got one right now... and it's not porn, just another pop-up saying my pc is infected... perfect.

    If you've truly tried everything, no choice but to backup everything and do a clean install.

    But I'd suggest killing task manager processes until it stops

    I had this problem once where new tabs would just pop up randomly and rapidly while chrome is open, I used Malwarebytes and SUPERAntiSpyware and it worked.
    EDIT: Oh and do it in safe mode in your computer after by pressing F2 rapidly while your computer starts, use the offline part.

    Try to search on three in internet and try using malwarebytes or some adware removing software in safe mode. Try using them while switching off your firewall. If these don't work then you have to do these things manually which is a very long process. Trust me i have done it manually and it takes many hours to clean your PC up. It almost took me about 6 hours to do it:sweating_profusely:
    Best way if even these don't work..... Just get your freaking PC repaired:facepalm:

    EDIT- Oh i noticed in that background of yours that your Windows is not licensed so don't get scammed by shop workers that you need to reinstall your Windows and then they ask for 100$for it. That would be stupid of you:facepalm:

    See if you install any new programs or extension recently. They sometimes disguise as useful program so check for them in uninstall programs and features.
    Check notification allowed settings for browers.
    It does not work chose the date from which this problem started and uninstall all program which installed and updated(even essential ones like browser ,players ,window etc) after the date.

    U want to boot ur computer in safe mode and then reinstall anti virus like malwarebyte and then remove the virus. In this case the virus wont boot up and cant screw up anything else. If u need internet to download stuff, there is also a safe mode with internet access u can use

    to boot in safe mode go to start-> run and type in "msconfig". go to boot tab and u can choose boot minimium or with network.

    try using adw cleaner. It always solves my malware issues. It's provided from the same site as malwarebytes, but it's an independent team that made it and are responsible for it.

    This type of malware isn't from porn. Its mostly from sites that redirects to free downloads (torrents, etc.) When you see a small notification on the top corner that says allow notification/deny, please press deny or ignore the prompt. Although it is annoying, its not hard to fix. Go to whatever browser your using and go to content settings then into notifications. You can then remove the permission on that site so it can't do it anymore.

    I have a feeling I already know the answer but do you have a backup of the computer? Use that if you do. When you do get the computer fixed though would be a good idea to backup the computer for next time

    Try booting into safe mode with things disabled, and check if you still get that problem.
    Get Kaspersky or Bitdefender and do a thorough scan. Kaspersky has a trial version for one month if you do not wish to purchase.
    Or, try plugging in the harddrive(s) into another PC which has it and do a complete scan.

    Try HitmanPro. It has a 30-day trial and is quite thorough.

    Oh-no! I hope you resolved the issue. If not, what are you doing right now and what do you need help with?
