5) Now, to be on a safer side, I would also advise you to run these portable scanners which do not require any installation

* Download and run Malwarebytes AdwCleaner: https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner

* ESET Online Scanner: https://download.eset.com/com/eset/tools/online_scanner/latest/esetonlinescanner.exe

* Download and run a scan with Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool: https://devbuilds.s.kaspersky-labs.com/devbuilds/KVRT/latest/full/KVRT.exe .Make sure you checkmark System Memory, Startup Objects, Boot Sectors & System Drive before running a scan.
