Picked up a bl**dy irritating, intrusive programme on my computer from somewhere unknown.
A thing called King Coupon, which posts ads randomly, for example, if I click on a selected subject, or even use the scroll bar. It's changed the page layout when i do a 'Google' search, and slowed-down page loading etc, and I can't find the effing thing to get rid of it !
Their web-site gives instructions on how to uninstall, by doing the usual and un-installing the programme, but the bl**dy programme can't be found !!!

Sorry to hear that, Terry...malware hijacks suck and the a-holes that write those malware scripts should be castrated while being repeatedly throat-punched during the neutering process...

Thanks Dave. I followed the instructions and, still unable to find the bl**dy elusive King Coupon, I un-installed all recently installed programmes I didn't recognise.
And guess what?
The ****ing thing is still here, and making it extremely difficult to use the Internet.It appears to be an 'un-findable' extension to Chrome - very sneaky.
Looks like I'm going to have to get my computer expert friend in, with his specialised software to 'clean out' my PC.
If I could find the bar stewards who do this, I'd string 'em up by the goolies with piano wire, whilst playing an endless loop of Justin Beiber !!

Hope you get that Friggin' computer virus shite sorted Terry.
Had you disabled the option of automatic system restoring before you started uninstalling these recent programmes? If you haven't many prevoius settings were restored and the malware could have been re-activated again.

Hmm. I don't know to be honest. Since the change to Windows 7, it's difficult to sometimes find anything on the stupid system - all things have changed completely.
However, all the unrecognised programmes have been un-installed, but the actual King Coupon can not be found anywhere, and is still interfering with my Internet connection. When I first log on to the 'net, three 'new tabs' appear, behind the master tab, with some sort of extension, which I immediately delete. These, if checked, show that they can't be found anyway !
I think this has come from either Amazon, or a link here on the forum, as they are the only other sites I've visited, apart from my regular, bookmarked sites or e-mails . Just typing this is taking a long time, as there's a few seconds delay betwenn me typing and the characters or words appearing on screen !

Terry, check if any of these uninstalled earlier files didn't appear in the CP again. Especially check on these files: Right Coupon, RemoveThaeAdAopp, UTUobEAdaBlock, SafeSaver, SupTab, ValueApps, Lollipop, Software Updated Version, DP1815, Video Player, Convert Files for Free, Plus-HD 1.3, BetterSurf, Trusted Web, PassShow, LyricsBuddy-1, YRight Coupon 1.2, Media Player 1.1, Savings Bull, Feven Pro 1.1, Websteroids, Savings Bull, HD-Plus 3.5,
If there isn't any of these check on the Chrome settings.... Click the Chrome menu button on the browser toolbar, select Tools and then click on Extensions.
In the Extensions tab, remove the Right Coupon, SafeSaver, DP1815, Video Player, Convert Files for Free, Plus-HD 1.3, BetterSurf, Media Player 1.1, PassShow, LyricsBuddy-1, YRight Coupon 1.2, Media Player 1.1, Savings Bull, Feven Pro 1.1, Websteroids, Savings Bull, HD-Plus 3.5 any other unknown extensions by clicking the trash can icon.
Basically, if you have not installed an extensions then you should remove it from your web browser.

Heck Jim ! Sorry to hear that !
Wojtek, I got similar info from Karl via a text message, and deleted some unwanted extensions and, so far, it seems to have worked.

Great ! 
It appears that the King Coupon malware used extensions as well. Therefore I was sure you had to clear the net browser settings with them. Especially if you have uninstalled all the recent installed soft and couldn't find anything more. But it is better to follow all steps for a such "hunting" for viruses than omitting one.
