If someone could please tell me how to safely remove Adware off, I would really appreciate it c: To be honest I’m actually pretty terrified to turn off my computer.
Also me telling you what my computer is infected with would help and it turns out one is highly common as I’m browsing through the forms and the other I have no idea :C
-Win 32 Adware-gen
-$REDXUPZ.exe(Win 32 Adware)
They are both in the chest, unfortunately the second one is in the recycling bin as well, and actually that’s how I found the second one, and I have no idea what to do, I’m too scared to turn off my computer, I’m afraid it will crash. Actually today I keep getting warnings on sites saying they are infected with adware/malware when those are my normal sites all the time…is that normal for that to happen?
if in chest then you have removed it
if you have one in recycle bin also…then empty recycle bin

it is normal if the site is infected…

Oh okay, I’m just afraid to empty the recycling bin, due to people saying even though you delete those files they still remain somewhere, I just don’t want traces of the adware still lingering. Also those site I usually visit and are safe, like tumblr, deviant art, advast doesn’t say anything, they’re usually safe, and I noticed I keep getting the same address when chrome blocks the site. If I can get it up again I will let you know.

the only way to get those files back is to use a special program for it…but that wont help if the computer has owerwritten … so nothing to worry about
if you use CCleaner i think it has a clear free space funcktion…cant see now as i am on ipad
