So i was just now browsing lmao pics when suddenly chrome shut down and re launched
i figured it's some nasty shit so i checked out my installed programs and there were 4 random programs under others "justin bieber" (lol) installed just now so i deleted them and ran over with malwarebytes and most of them went away but one still remained, i don't remember it's name right now
then i downloaded avast because after my recent format i forgot to install it and decided it's high time
still whatever it was it blocked me from installing extensions for chrome, and it had messed with my settings, i figured i'd reinstall, and it wouldn't work
after that i tried a boot scan and manual regedit deletion of the one file and whatever i done i think it mostly fixed it because i could reinstall chrome and now i'm using it and shit
but i noticed how there's still this

also both malwarebytes and avast wouldn't detect that last file for shit
so how do i make sure there's no trace of the malware left (because clearly there is) when my anti virus programs won't do shit?

oh, the last file was called borderlineEdit
Run malware and avast in safe mode without networking. Otherwise you can't get rid of most shit as it's running.
If all else fails, consider system restore to a point where this shit wasn't prominent.
Check your extensions and see if there are any left.

Im scannibg in safe mode now

also for some reason i can't see the skype tray icon
i have reinstalled skype with no success
Check to see if maybe the adware inserted extra lines into your skype's config.xml.
Go to [code]C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Skype\username\config.xml[/code] and search for anything weird, like "advert". And you might as well blacklist [URL]https://apps.skype.com[/URL] through internet options.
