Bloody malware and adware. I tried Spybot Search and Destroy, AdAware, Anvi AD Blocker, Anvi Smart Defender, IObit Malware Fighter... and it says no threats detected. Yet I see this and AdYieldManager all the time...

Anyone has found a good free anti-malware and anti-adware software or if it is paid, which is the best for the lowest price possible?

How about trying this:
Add ad.yieldmanager.com to your HOSTS file.

The HOSTS file is found at:

C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc

Add the following entry:

127.0.0.1 ad.yieldmanager.com

Or alternatively, you can download SpywareBlaster. Its not a spyware/ adware removal tool, but it prevents the blacklisted threats from its database from being installed on your PC.

Ooophs, I try to download SpywareBlaster but it says TrialPay is not available in Malaysia, unless I want to buy outright.

(Ooophhhs, it's the link on the left, not the one on the right! Downloading now.)

Could it be that your account has UAC(User Access Control) enabled? To find out, simply follow the guide here:

If its enabled, disable it.
