I recently got a browser virus where i was always using search.com or the smart search. I got rid of the virus with some antivirus but i seems to left a load of ads everywhere! i tried to get rid of it, even reinstalling chrome and fire fox and removing the extension/add-ons. It only seems to affect some websites like this one. Please help me!

You don't have a virus... what you have is a malware infection... The best program to get rid of that is Malwarebytes Free Edition....

I doubt uninstalling a browser would have any effect... some malware are installed as programs in your O/S...and NOT as a browser add-on... so even if you uninstall and reinstall... the same infection will be not only still be present... but will also show up in all your browsers. Malwarebytes is the best option here.
