Ok, i was downloading music at some point last week. Now at random times i get audio adverts during games or even just browsing the net. I have trying malware remover and anti virus but it doesn’t seem to remove it. Just to top it off what ever it is has turned off System restore so i cant even go back. Help…. please…. :(

what did you use to download the music with lol?
I use torrent sites, but i have never had trouble until now :/
It happens when im not even listening to music sketch

Do you mean your broswer randomly opens adverts? i think my friend had this problem, and then you mean malware remover what program did you use?
Wow i haven’t had pop up ads malware since like 2004
try this out – http://www.freedrweb.com/cureit/?lng=en
nice free standalone av soft. Always up-to-date bases and stuff.
Think I had this ages ago, spooked the shit out of me, I’d get random sound clips playing with no discernible source :D
It turned out to be a really horrible piece of malware iirc, you’re probably better off formatting if initial attempts at removing malware don’t work.
Back in the day, when spyware/malware was ‘popular’, people would use Ad-Aware http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php and Spybot S&D http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
No clue if they’re still the preferred tools.

you sure the tracks you downloaded dont have adverts added in there?

Correct me if I’m wrong but what I think he means is: Some Audio tracks are ripped from radio sites, so whilst getting the songs you want you’re also getting the radios advertisements…
Idk, I just woke up.. STOP JUDGING ME!

No, they aren’t, and haven’t been for some time.
Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware and ComboFix are the main contenders nowadays.
Scan with Malwarebytes, have NoScript + Adblock Plus added to firefox.
Just try to get an Windows DVD of a friend and reinstall you whole system.
if you cant delete the virus, you have to save your very important files before it’s to late.
Hopefully you have some backup of your data. otherwise bad luck
