Weird Virus
 
So I got this virus. Im pretty sure i got it from utorrent when I was DLing EQ. I have not been able to get rid of it. At first it was just redirecting the home page and googles and what not. Now it has escalated to random computer lockups and random audio ads running in the background. I tried running MalBytes in safemode. It found 8 items and removed them but the random audio ads keep coming up. Any suggestions?
Oh btw Im not the most computer savy person. Im not a true nerd I just play EQ.

I've had good luck using ComboFix to get stuff that Malwarebytes can't fully remove.

It may not be the virus anymore. Many viruses change settings that persist even after the virus is gone. There's programs out there that can repair PC's after virus removal and restore settings/registry/file permissions etc. I know of one for Windows 7 that I used after a Sirefef infection.
