    I keep getting this programme on my chrome browser and even got it on internet explorer somehow.
    I can really see a slowed down performance on my browsing.
    I have tried nearly everything, ran a Microsoft security essentials check up, and it was all clear.
    I event uninstalled chrome, but no luck.
    I also uninstalled recent installed programmes on control panel, but no luck.
    What else can I do, its so annoying.

    Thanks

    Uninstall it using Revo Uninstaller, run a Malwarebytes Scan, followed by an ADWCleaner Scan, and finally a CCleaner check. See if that does anything when they're all done

    How am I supposed to uninstall it, if I can't find it in my installed programmes, is not there.
    Thanks for reply.

    Have a look with Revo, it's a standalone program. If it's not listed, skip that step

    thank you so much, I had used adware programme, removed it.
    At the start, after resetting, google chrome would not let me connect as it had something to do with ''cannot connect to proxy server''
    so I deselected that option.
    Now works.

    Does it happen on any other machines in the house? Or is it just the one?

    As of yet I removed it. Used the programme again and installed ccleaner. I havnt used ccleaner yet. I am afraid it will delete files that I actually need.
    I only have 1 machine in the house.
    Maybe if i restore system back to 3 weels ago if it comes up again?

    google "remove ads by gepprivate malware tips" without quotes

    GetPrivate is a vpn getprivate dot net. Not sure is there also a browser extension which is bundled with a 'free' program

    Do you have an anti virus?. If you download free stuff google it and scan it. google "getprivate adware" without quotes
