So i was trying to download something, but i made the mistake of downloading a .exe file that i thought was the thing i wanted (it had the same name), but to my surprise it was some U Search crap or something like that, it started installing but i managed to kill the process, the thing is that now i have some odd adware in all browsers, i have reinstalled chrome, and i have reinstalled a fresh copy of Opera, but every time i have the same stuff.

Instead of showing normal google ads i get some iqoption links and sometimes when i click in something i get redirected to random pages like apple kungfu.com or stuff like that.

I have run lots of scans from malwarebytes, avast and a rootkit tool from malwarebytes, but everything seems normal, there are no strange programs in my pc, and there are not strange process in task manager, i even downloaded ccleaner and cleaned registry and temp files and everything, right now im thinking in just reinstalling windows, but i have some important files and i dont want to do that, please help!!

Thanks guys, i think i solved it, i got adwcleaner and it detected some stuff, but the issue remained, so the thing i did was:

-Delete all browsers in control panes and their files in the appdata folder.
-Ran a full ccleaner search in registry and programs, then erase everything.
-I went to internet options in control panel and under the connection tab i went to LAN settings and only ticked the "Automatic detect settings" (I had a strange address in the address box so i erased it and just putted a period)
-Ran another ccleaner full scan of registry and programs and erased everything again.
-Installed just Opera browser.

For now it have worked, every other solution just did nothing and popups just reappeared, but now nothing is happening, hope this works for anyone ealse.
