I don't know much about how to get rid of stuff like this but I know a place that does. Here's a link if you want to go there. They helped a long time ago when I had a problem with some elusive malware.

Just explain what happened or what is happening, and they'll help you get rid of anything that might be infecting your computer. You could wait though, maybe someone knows more about the subject.

Hi Jess,
If that link Argus gave you doesn't help, Bitdefender is supposed to be amazing for getting rid of spyware and malware. It is expensive, but you can try it for 30 days for free, to see if it helps you.
http://www.bitdefender.com/
Click on the 'Try' link near the bottom.

Just download AVG Internet Security 2014 Trial, trust me, best anti-everything ware.

In truth if you do safe browsing, you don't really need an anti virus, I will say that I do use one. But no anti virus will ever replace safe browsing and smart choices and no anti virus will ever be able to keep up with the scumbags that make viruses.

This can help you though, because it uses user data, which in my opinion is far more efficient than some anti virus. If you do get a new anti virus, get a free one, the paid ones are nothing but scams that are more likely to screw up your computer than to fix it. Avoid AVs like McAfee and Norton, they're useless.
I recommend avast! though, its pretty non-intrusive and there's a free version.

Everyone should be using this in conjunction with their AV. The paid version (typically about $15 for a LIFETIME license) essentially gives you automated/scheduled scans, and IMO it's money very well spent.
