Removing DNSdownloader from computer

[Stewart032]

Yesterday, I got a pop-up promoting DNSdownloader as a tool that can speed up my internet connection. I was tempted to install this program and at first, everything seems fine. But after hours of having DNSdownloader on my computer, my computer starts to slow down. Same with my internet, it took so long to load a single page.

Ads by DNSdownloader is also flooding the browser. There are times that several pop-ups will appear, which heavily degrade the system performance of my PC. This tool is like a virus. It does nothing helpful and just spoiling the computer. PC is now hopeless and almost useless due to this DNS Downloader malware.

Please tell me how to remove DNSdownloader from the computer. My antivirus program found several malicious objects after the scan. However, this does not eliminate DNSdownloader pop-up ads. The extension is also present on my Chrome browser and there is no way to stop it.

I need help very badly.

Thanks.
