I accidently installed something that cause malware/adware site redirects whenever I click shit. Can someone help me get rid of it for all my browsers?

Have you tried running Malwarebytes yet?

I ran it and restarted. It seems to have cleaned Firefox but Chrome still has redirects.
reset your homepage
It seems to have gone from all browsers now. Thanks all.
Update: still happening on chrome though not as often.
I think wiping my system would be last thing on the list, not the next.

Didn't work. And nothing seems out of the ordinary on Chrome extensions.

I apparently can't use that as I have Windows 10?
What website? What did you installed?

i got a file from tradownload
it was supposedly a flash game that led to a .iso instead. I opened it. And then something called "uBrowser" popped up and loaded into torrents or something. I exited it and when I started using the browser, the redirects started.

Go buy a webroot computer antivirus, then boot your computer off the disk drive that comes enclosed.

I'm willing to consider that. Just wondering if there are other free options.
