Got a virus up in here. Any help ?

[GamingAddicted]

Lets start. I just got a new gpu and wanted to render some free intros in blender, but after downloading some from ifreshd ( On youtube ) i got these web pop-ups called 'hijackers' ( Atleast i read so ). If its a file, it doesnt get detected by the only anti-virus i have, Kaspersky. Theyre pretty annoying, cause if im playing a game and got some music up and running on youtube, i cant really do it, cause after a while, the web page called marketgid.com pops up and kicks me out of the game ( It doesnt close the game, it just automatically pauses it and goes to that new web tab with the page open, im using Chrome btw ). Could someone please help ?

Just now, i remembered cause it poped up, i got another pop-up, Wonderlandads.com that gets blocked by the Kaspersky web addon. + Ive tried to reset the settings on chrome 3 times now, no change. Havent tried reinstalling it tho.

Usually, you want to have both an antivirus and a malware scanner. THE most used software for scanning for malware would be Malwarebytes. It is free on their website:
https/www.malwarebytes.com/

Just do a scan and it should help to find most of the newer things that an antivirus will miss. But don't skip out on antvirus scans, this doesn't replace it.

Okay, i didnt really trust these free software things, but if youre recommending it ( Or atleast telling me to use it ), ill try.

Malwarebytes is probably one of THE most trusted. And just because you paid a pretty penny for a certain brand of antivirus, doesn't means its always better. You can check out reviews for some here:

As this is a prebuilt system ( With some upgrades ), it has visited a pc shop to install a copy of Windows 10 for 40 euros, with all offices ( Excel, Word, Power Point etc. ) Also they included a 1 year subscription for Kaspersky.

Been scanning for some mins now, and already around 30 threats. Should get some better templates up in here.

Yep, everything that was web pop-up related was in Chrome folders. mail.ru was the main one, with bunch of others. If this helps and there wont be any pop-ups in 1 day, gonna mark your answer as the solution! Thanks.

Whenever someone has problems like this, I recommend a boot-time scan. Malware/adware like this can re-propagate itself over the net. Try disconnecting your Internet and running a "full scan" with Avast and whatever program you currently have installed (Avast 2017 can use Passive Mode if you like, so you can have it available as a scanner only) Both Free and Paid versions support this. https/www.avast.com/en-us/compare-antivirus

Then, run a boot-time scan via USB or removable media: https/www.avast.com/en-us/faq.php?article=AVKB132

Finally, you can use a program like Avast Cleanup (there are free alternatives out there too) which can remove things like tracking cookies, etc: https/www.avast.com/en-us/cleanup#pc
