Windows 10: Adware on all browsers.

Hi everyone, I have an issue hoping anyone of you can help me.

I recently changed my PC's HDD for a SSD and reinstalled Windows 10 there. First 2 or 3 days normal, then, when visiting any google website it infests of adware, suspicious ads. At any browser Edge, Chrome, Firefox. I formated SSD at least 3 times and issue occurs even if I do not install anything else than Windows 10. Google search, Youtube, Gmail, etc. are affected, but other sites like Facebook seems unaffected. After one week of use, Edge simply stops working. I tried deep-cleaning all drives to avoid this issue but seems persisting. No antivirus/antimalware detects anything but issue still persists. I tried system restore but issue still persists after restore, so that means by any way, adware survives any action I do. Any idea? Thanks!


Note: I'm not talking about normal ads you can find everywhere, even Microsoft sites, that's normal, I'm talking about real virus adware, plagues with Google-like searches every page I mentioned, that shouldn't contain that kind of ads.
