    I second the suggestion of ADWCleaner
    Downloads - AdwCleaner - ToolsLib
    and then also:
    Run Ccleaner Free on all the browsers on the system, clearing out the cache/history/temp files
    Flush your DNS - in an admin command prompt:
    Code:
    Code:
    ipconfig /flushdns
    Reset Firefox (Resetting Firefox will still save your passwords and bookmarks, but will remove your add-ons.)
    Reset Internet Explorer
    Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab>RESET

    Probably best to reset all browsers on the system, whether you use them or not.

    When you say anti adware, meaning AdwCleaner (best program) ?

    Does the issue occur with other browsers ?
