thanks, it is my machine. why it is on my girlfriend's machine also is beyond me.
I will have to buy an external hard drive, put all my photos videos and important ebooks there, and delete everything else.
I 100% doubt that any ad ware removal program in existence can find the virus.
question, how can the malware be so advanced that it displays fake ads on both chrome, safari, AND firefox???
Hey you owe me a bottle of beer

There are malwares coming every hour but the anitmalware/antivirus are updated only when they recognize the malicious threats and figure out how it works.
