Advance Elite malware

Hi everybody I'm Steve.

I recently purchased a new HP Pavilion laptop running Windows8 but unfortunately have picked up some intensely annoying Ad popup malware called Advance Elite. It throws up so many ads on both Explorer and Firefox as to make them virtually unusable.

I have installed Norton onto the laptop but this does not disable or remove the corrupt software.

Any help or advice would be very gratefully received….

Thanks

I'm sorry to hear of your current issue, Steve - but welcome to WTT.
