Super anti malware bytes said that i had a "storm" trojan. I deleted it but it kept coming back. I found a svchost.exe that isnt located in C:\Windows\System32 but instead in C:\Windows\Microsoft. Is this the virus? What do i do with it if, when deleted, it keeps coming back. This virus opens ad sites on startup and when browsing sometimes it starts opening pop up screen with every click i make. http://prntscr.com/i8s3jf
