As a disclaimer; I didn't make a new thread as the first thing upon encountering this. I've searched far and fucking wide for a solution, but everything I seem to get on Google is these "www.howtogetridofavirus.com" shit which is basically just links to downloading questionable anti malware software.
None of the guides have helped me so far. I've removed all Chrome extensions, reset chrome settings, deleted local appdata, changed my TCP/IPv4 protocol settings, scanned my computer up and down for any malicious software with no results, and now I'm at a loss.
I haven't done anything out of the usual, haven't installed anything for the past week or so, haven't visited any pages I don't usually visit. Nothing.
I'm not going to format and reinstall windows because of this. There has to be some sort of solution.
I recorded this to show you how fucking annoying it is. If it helps, the ads says "ad by dnsunlocker". I just want to get rid of this shit.
Please help me. I'll suck your dick.

Ok now it's gone worse. I can't actually use chrome anymore since it just goes to redtube.com no matter where I click on the page.
Have you checked your proxy settings? Program files? Tried running in Safe Mode?
DINGDINGDING!
We has a winner:
Run Malwarebytes and or the following if the shizzle persists:
Spybot
EEK (Emsisoft Emergency Kit)
And a run of ADWcleaner can't hurt either.
Edit: Make sure to check out "chrome://policy/" for any nastyies too.
You could also run JRT, just to make sure.
Okay I just barely made it download Firefox after closing about a billion porn tabs, there's no problem with FF. It's only Chrome.
This looks like a fucking virus from a comedy, it's like so surreal that a virus would actually just spam porn sites.
Edit:
Sorry, didn't see your replies. I have tried scanning with Malwarebytes with no luck unfortunately.
As stated, try out malwarebytes and use another professional anti virus scanner for clean up.
If its a pain in the ass, boot in safe mode and download Autoruns.

Knock out any malicious BS and carry on.
Just done a quick browse on dnsunlocker you mentioned. Someone on reddit found a solution which worked for them. Firstly go to control panel, uninstall programmes and check to see if dnsunlocker is lurking there, if it is then uninstall it. Then try this...
[QUOTE]After investigating, I found out that the damn "DNS Unlocker" had modified my DNS settings! After fixing this I was completely good! I have google chrome, so I am unsure if this fix persist to other browsers.
The path to do this follows:
Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings > Right-click your active internet connection (usually Wi-Fi since everyone uses that, unless your using a desktop) and click properties > Now under the Networking tab, scroll down until you find Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Highlight that then click on properties > Both options in this windows should be automatic! The first option should be set to "Obtain an IP address automatically" and the second should be set to "Obtain DNS server address automatically!" If your computer belongs to a company or you actually have a custom DNS then this would not apply to you. Once you are finish, click "OK" and close the windows > Now go back into Chrome and reset your settings one more time and boom! It should work just fine. [/QUOTE]
Some people also mentioned that after they've done that go back and clear all browsing data and temp internet files on chrome, and either quarentine the browser extension file with malwarebytes or any other antivirus [QUOTE]C:\Documents and Settings\*UserName*\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions[/QUOTE]

Thanks, but as the OP mentions I've tried both of those things with no result :(

Try clearing out the Chrome folder in appdata. I had something like this and that was the only way to remove it

Ah shit, just to check, when you go into Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features Uninstall or change a program is there DNS Unlocker or anything similar?
To be on the safe side also check C:\Program Files (x86) Right click on the column details, select date created and see if a new file has been created with DNS in it.
When you open Chrome and go into chrome://settings Extensions is DNS Unlocker or anything similar there?
[B]If[/B] it is there then go to chrome type in the address bar: chrome://net-internals/#dns and clear host cache, then go to history - delete browsing data. Next delete all browsing data from internet explorer and firefox if you have it installed.
Lastly, is there anything in task manager such as dnsatlantic.exe or Dnspalenville.exe? Double check msconfig and services to see if anything odd may be running on startup.
And finally the only other thing I can think of is to run pc in safe mode with networking, do everything again as above but in safe mode. If you've got a friend or spare PC, install malwarebytes chameleon on a usb, download it to your pc and install it. Then run scans.

True, CCleaner would work nicely. I was also a bit worried that whilst I was reading about DNS unlocker someone said a registry key was causing the program to reinstall itself. I don't know how true that was, but it's always handy to use ccleaner to get rid of any bad registry keys and appdata.
