Infected with Ouo.io? How frustrated.
My brother downloaded a free video converter on my system & he didn't uncheck all the usual pre checked boxes & now my system is infected with something. Whenever I open a web page & click on any URL, I'm directed to a ouo.io page asking me to click on the I AM NOT A BOT box then it forwards me to my original destination. It's annoying. Removing everything & still when I open my browser & go to a page & click on any url it keeps sending me there.
