I recently got a brand new sandisk SSD.
I already have windows installed on my current HDD but i wanted to install OS and games on the SSD and keep the HDD for storage.
So i disconnected my HDD and attaching the SSD i did a clean install of windows 8.1
NO programs installed or anything like brand new windows i have this annoying redirect adware
(google 'trade exchange adware')
right from the start
I tried wiping and reinstalling but its there again right from the first time i log in.
There are no browser extensions , no crappy toolbars nothing , completely empty c drive.
Can my SSD have some kind of default virus or something?
i know it sounds stupid but how can this exist on a brand new windows?
this is the only drive connected to the system so theres no other way for the malware to enter.
I tried installing with and without an internet connection, no luck.
Please help me out.
