Do you have Malwarebytes? This is a free download....
It removed a PUP we got on our 1 day old new computer last spring when we downloaded Adobe reader. CNet.com is a good place to read about and download free malware fixers. PUPs are very common now, and we scan for them weekly. One week we had 9 of them. They come in now from all sorts of legit sites. You need to look at what you are doing on the net very carefully... some gaming sites have intrusive code on them now.

You obviously still have the malware despite the person saying it was removed which is a huge pain for you I know bizi.
You're not using it still are you? Are you using your phone again or the computer? I wouldn't be using the computer until it was clean personally. There was a strange link came up in one of your posts the other day on Weight Loss Forum. First time I've ever seen that happen. Do you have a lot of important things saved on your computer? If you don't you could reformat. Start fresh. |

he uninstalled chrome, ran adware cleaner and hitpro3.

I told him I just wanted to go buy a mac.

Bizi, as the others have said it looks like a PUP to me.
Does "Text Enhance" appear when you click on something? If so, the instructions here should help; http://botcrawl.com/how-to-remove-text-enhance/ .
