    Okay, so you may remember a thread I made about my posts having little green arrows due to adware on the home pc. I thought I got rid of it for good. Today, it re-surfaced. If you see little green arrows in my threads and posts don't click them! I have no idea what will happen if you do! I will try to get rid of this problem as soon as possible.

    I don't think that's how adware works. It'll only effect you, not other people.

    Oh, no. It's much worse then a virus. I've never seen adware this annoying. It never goes away. I thought Adblock Plus fixed the problem for good.

    It's a virus. My google chrome had it. Later when I got an antivirus it detected like 20 viruses from the google chrome folder

    Yes, I know what a virus is. It is not a virus, it is adware.

    If it helps the name of the adware is DNS Unlocker...

    I got rid of it through control panel but the ads persisted, so I installed Adblocker Plus and it worked perfectly. No ads for like 2 months. Today, it randomly came back because someone in my house disabled it to do something that it was blocking, leaving it a chance to re-surface.

    Basically, it's still there.
