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
