    So, earlier today, i was working on google, and i started noticing that whenever i would click a link, the link would redirect to some sort of advertisement site. I ran an AVG scan and discovered i was infected with a number of trojans and a hidden driver. so, i tried to delete the infected items. a reboot was required and afterwards, a couple of trojans were gone, but a few stayed, so did the hidden driver. so, i tried to run malwarebytes. the shortcut won't work and neither will the program file. i uninstalled and reinstalled and still, malwarebytes won't work. i downloaded spybot SD, and that won't work either. i searched the internet and finally found a program called trojan remover, and i used that. it removed the trojan, but the hidden driver is still there. i downloaded MG tools and all the stuff on the Malware removal list, but the only thing that worked was MGtools. finally, i got fed up and attempted a system restore, but it wouldn't allow me to do it. it ran fine, but i still have this hidden driver in the system. finally, i got fed up and attempted a system restore, but it wouldn't allow me to do it. so, i'm stuck, i don't have any idea what to do now. any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    I suggest that you try to complete the rest of the READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide now and attach the logs from SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ComboFix, and RootRepeal. This type of infection often leaves many other traces around.
