hello, 

 

when i open my browser, i get Tons of advertising.( pricechop) I get pop up ads and randomly opening new windows or tabs

 

 

i have tried running Malwarebytes, Spybot search and destroy and searching it manually, but i can't find anything, 

 

 

this is my last hope, or i am going to throw this pc out of  the window.

 

 

if anyone can help me, you are very welcome.

    Google Chrome usually is great at stopping this sort of thing, and Spybot Search and Destroy usually removes anything it misses.. I've never been in that kind of situation before, maybe uninstalling the browser all together and re-installing may fix this issue, and would't take to long to do..

It is solved, adwcleaner found the problem directly.

Good to hear mate. Try to keep it clean. ;)
I have had the issue of Firefox having an unapproved addon... and I believe it was because of an underlying virus. Might want to check for a rootkit.

have a good multipurpose antimalware running also; prevx, avg, avast, and threatfire are some decent free (or free detection) options to consider
