Thanks for the assistance, I really appreciate it.

However I still want to make sure it hasn't left anything on my computer, just to be sure.

hmmm turns out the server I was playing uses linkbucks.com to pay for the server ( game I am playing is Rising storm 2 Mega Server) it holds 185 players I believe. I joined another server and no linkbucks.com ads appear.

Here are my results FRST_08-12-2018 18.19.44.txt Addition_08-12-2018 18.19.44.txt

I ran the adwcleaner it detected it and removed it then when I restarted the computer, and ran the test again it was detected again. However when I opened steam web browser and joined a server on a game linkbucks.com tab opened up again.

Hello there, Yesterday I was on my computer using steam and was playing a game, when I went into web browser and then went onto you tube I had accidentally click on a ad that pops up when you are watching a video of any sorts and when I went to go cross off it, the map was loading on the game so my I was a bit delayed and must of clicked on the ad, long story short I now I have link bucks ad come up on steam web browser and not my desktop search engines like chrome and explorer I have already formatted and reset my SSD with the OS and my HDD , however once I had reinstalled everything the adware still arise. However I did manage to locate what the problem was with your package malware-bytes,when running the game I quickly hit Shift +tab and opened the steam web browser and then ran the scan when the linkbucks.com tab came up it was detected and blocked however it still comes back every time I join the server of the game I am playing. My question is that is it possible if I can ever remove this adware from steamweb browser since I have used McAfee premium and Malware-bytes but still no luck. Anyone with any expertise would be really appreciated. Oh I also turned on scan for rootkits as well. Thanks
