This virus attacked me last time and the only solution was to restore my computer to factory conditions. Around a year after restarting my whole computer, the virus attacked again. The virus infects my Firefox browser by putting ads everywhere. If I click on spot that seems empty, I get redirected and sent to some phony site. They even changed the texts into links and those texts had little pop-ups. I went though a video and downloaded and started Malwarebytes, CCleaner, ComboFix, and at the end, got a plugin Adblock Plus. All of these were pretty helpful with other viruses but the one infecting Firefox still lived through all that. I tried looking in the program files for any files that might seem bad and deleted some that looked like ad viruses but nothing changed. Plus, I still might have skipped over the file that infects Firefox but I aimed for the files with weird names. I did the "Control Panel, Programs, Uninstall" but couldnt find 'name'(The name of the virus will be shown in the pictures). I tried every simple way to get rid of a virus. I tried to get some help on a forum but got recommendations for programs I already have(Malwarebytes was the most common request and I already have it and ran it). Even the programs I dont have like Eset, I am sure it will be useless to me. The only thing I learned from that forum is that no one knew what I was dealing with, and backup and restores are my only solution. I want to find out what this virus is, instead of having to backup and restore all the time. And I dont want to keep getting suggestions to other programs. The pictures should be a dead giveaway for anyone who actually knows what this is. The pictures show ads by 'name' but last time I had this virus, the ad was not called 'name' before, so it must be the type of virus to change its name? I dont know.. But I went to a site(I wont post its name, but the web address seems trustworthy) which told me how to uninstall 'name'. I am sure this is the only website that actually address the virus as 'name' because google-ing 'ad virus name' does not help. But the site told me to "Control Panel, Programs, Look for name, Uninstall". The only problem was I could not find 'name'. I even tried uninstalling programs that could be 'name'. So the common solution for stuff like this is downloading virus protections like Malwarebytes or uninstalling programs. But none of these things are working I dont know why the pic is not loading, but I have three. I am using Puush which is a screenshot system. If you dont wanna click the links, I will try my best to explain what the picture shows: http://puu.sh/h0sbn/c313188901.png On the bottom of the ad, it says "Ad by name" http://puu.sh/h0szu/c4f1316f0c.jpg My puush system is spammed left and right with ad by 'name' http://puu.sh/h0sxb/e16477127d.jpg This is what I saw last time, except the virus was not called 'name' before. The giveaway for this one was the green, black, and white with three boxes. One box especially gave me an option to disable or 'opt' out of 'name'. I deactivated it and to my disappointment, nothing changed. If you didnt click the links, the closes I could get to my image is one from google search. Basically its the one that says "Ad by name" but different https://www.google.com/search?q=ad+virus&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=WWUjVY3tBsnHsAWCiIHIAg&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAg&biw=1024&bih=631#imgdii=_&imgrc=NzAY_yMxQe5MEM%253A%3BvGyGVfB78cU6hM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252F4.bp.blogspot.com%252F-rz3Lk6ksy98%252FVBiIkBtOlSI%252FAAAAAAAAHYU%252FM3A4YjAH81o%252Fs1600%252Fastro_arcade_ad.png%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fdeletemalware.blogspot.com%252F2014%252F09%252Fremove-astro-arcade-ads-virus-removal.html%3B378%3B285
