I’ve already uninstalled Wajam manually and used AdwCleaner, Avast, and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to remove these Wajam Ads that always find their way on the pages that I browse.
I couldn’t finish the scan with Farbar because an error popped up and closed the program mid-scan. I’ll attach the screenshot of the error here.

I’m not getting Wajam Ads stuff on the web pages I browse anymore 
Hope it’s gone for good. Anyway here are the AdwCleaner results.
Update: Thought it was gone but it came back 
Although not as persistent anymore.
Did not mean to forget you but was doing research to see if there were any details on this variation … Sigh, looks like we will have to dig it out the manual way.
Please run the following two searches with FRST. The result for each run will be the same named file so you will either have to rename the file or post each one separately.
First, a file / directory search:
Second, a Registry search:
Sorry for replying really late, but I got really busy with school and I didn’t use this laptop much. Anyway I don’t know what happened but the malware is long gone now. Thanks so much for the help!
Real world always takes precedence over these issues; good luck with school!
If you get the chance (and time), please run the following utility:
Clean up of Malware Removal Tools
Now that we are through using these tools, let’s clean them off your system so that should you ever need to have malware removed again (we hope not) fresh, updated copies will be downloaded.
[]Download Delfix from here to your desktop and double click it to start the program
[*]Ensure Remove disinfection tools is ticked
Also tick:
[]Activate UAC
[]Create registry backup
[]Purge system restore
[*]Reset system settings

[*]Click Run
[*]The program will run for a few moments and then notepad will open with a log. Note: Please save this log first before rebooting your system (if asked to); DelFix does not save the log as it is trying to remove all traces of our work on your system. Please attach the log in your next reply.
You can delete any log files left on your desktop as these are no longer needed.
