    Default Adware help.

    I think someone has installed some kind of adware, I've used AVG AntiAd and Ad-Aware, they deleted a few though Im still getting them, My brother was downloading some type of serial or crack for his game to put on a memory stick via my pc and he ran it so now Im stuck with alot of poker adverts popping up and every 10-15 minutes AVG pops up saying "A virus has appeared, heal, move to vault etc"
    Can someone help me and get rid of this adware for good other than a pop-up blocker what can I use, I think it's in the system 32 folder though no idea, he said when he downloaded he saw system 32.

    thanks in advanced.

    Get Windows defender, If it can't remove/delete the virus from your harddrive, It'll give you the option to quarantine it,

    (Quarantine definition for noobs: Quarantine meaning disable)
