Help! I Have a Very Weird Problem!

I use Internet Explorer as my web application, but for some unknown reason every time I open up The Sims 3 I get pop-up ads on Google Chrome. There are always a bunch of them and they are *ALWAYS* videos. It makes my game laggy, so I am constantly Alt-Tabbing out to close the Google Chrome windows. Eventually Chrome crashes and makes my game just sit there like a lump. It happens with Origin up and with me logged out of Origin. I have turned off all my connectivity options in the Game Options panel. It continues to happen. I think it started when I installed Showtime, but I'm not absolutely certain.

I thought that I could solve my problem by uninstalling Google Chrome. So I did that. According to my computer, Chrome uninstalled correctly and it isn't listed in my Program files. Guess what? I *STILL* get these pop-up ads on Google Chrome! When I pull up Task Manager, they don't appear, but there they are, on my desktop, the little circle spinning while they try to load another huge video file.

This is driving me crazy! I know that this isn't strictly a TS3 problem, but I am hoping that someone can help me figure out what in plum's name is going on!

Thanks in advance!

My dxdiag file is too big to post, so I will attach it in a reply.

    That is a browser hijacker, I hate those things, apparently they target google cromes weekness some also go after game portals. So run a virus scan asap.

    If you have no antivirus, or don't want to buy anything, then you want to get something like Malwarebytes: https://www.malwarebytes.org/
    The free edition is very good at dealing with malware and can generally be used alongside AV software.

    You can use an online virus scanner - such as http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/

    Hitman Pro is also another good free option: http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/

    However, you must only one run one at at a time - never be tempted to run one or more at the same time.

    EDIT:
    and don't sign up to the free trials of the full versions straight away, because they will potentially clash with any AV you already have.

    Well, in fact, I just saw a Trojan.Script624507 fire out of The Sims Launcher.

    I've never seen the launcher trigger a trojan alert before - ever. So, potentially, there is something amiss here.

    It was confirmed as infected.

    In fact, trying to browse to 92.242.144.160 (Barefruit Ltd) is causing a block at my end.

    EDIT:
    Don't try clicking the link.

    I don't get these issues with AVG installed on my computer though I did have that happen once with a game patch and had to run a system restore to fix the issue which set me back to the 155 patch.The 157 download was infected with a "program" called Hot shots which is actually a nasty malware program know to invade computers though AVG knew what it was and warned me to cancel the patch download and so system restore.

    Well, a friend of my got a evil nasty virus called the **32, must have been on one of the computers, that virus is bad as it encrypts your files and displays 🐸🐸🐸🐸 images on desktop and you don't need to visit those sites to get it. It deletes your taskbar and menu so you can't change the images, but the major damage is done to the computer on Valentines Day, where it will format the whole hard drive or scramble it, in the meantime it just duplicates itself, and downloads other viruses, Like Ground Hog Day feb 2. he got the virus on Febuary 8 so I had to try to get it off there before FEb 14, If you have a virus with a special payload day and that day is coming shut down the computer until after that day has passed, unplug it for desktop so update can't automatically start it. This will prevent the most dangous stuff from happening to your computer.
    Also run programs as normal users, not root this can prevent programs from installation scripts from loading into memory as they will require a level up to install which will than give you a choice. Free programs always choose custom so you can choose between the optional programs.
