Have you tried Avast, CCleaner, Glary Utilities or Malwarebytes? All free..................
EVERY FREEPER SHOULD HAVE AT MINIMUM:
AVAST.COM
MALWAYBYTES.COM
CCLEANER
All have a free version for home use. Download and install them and let them do a COMPLETE scan of your computer. It may take hours.
(I buy the premium versions because I like to support products that work. I have never gotten my computer infected using these.)
Bump for later - thanks !

Yes, I know Avast is a Russian company, I, for one, trust them more than google.
Sad, ain't it?
I always think “what company thinks that using malware to advertise is going to win them customers?” If I got ads from malware I’d make it a point to never ... NEVER ... buy anything from the companies doing the advertising. Period.
What Windows version are you running? What ever version, if it’s up to date Windows Defender, which is included with Windows has worked well for me.
Now sure if it will grease mapsnow, but it’s worth a try.
