Infected with StartNewTab ? How frustrated.
Hi, I had recently tried to download a game free from this website (Not Pirate bay or torrenting websites), and I downloaded an installer which I turned on and immediately turned it off, but it had downloaded loads of programs such as Bubble Dock onto my computer in the background. I have gotten rid of most of it though a large link thing appears over the screen on web pages and Steam pages which send me to advertisement pages, before it goes to these advertisements it shows up with www.w3.org or www.StartNewTab. Any help is fine, thank you.
