This is maybe an insultingly obvious first step, but have you run a virus scan? You didn't mention that, and most malware these days seems to rely on people not knowing how to get rid of it more than technical tricks to bury itself deep. There's a decent chance you can just scan and it'll go away.

System restore isn't a bad idea, but it'll only work if you have a restore point from decently far back.

I restored it back to the 28th of march and saw that a program called betterads 1.1 was deleted, moral of the story. Don't try to pirate witcher 3.

In the future, you won't need to do a system restore.

Here is what you do.

1. Boot in safe mode.
2. Run the free edition of malware bytes. Let it do its thing and follow its instructions
3. Run super anti-spyware and follow its directions.

That should knock out just about anything. If you have an anti-virus program then you can use that at some point as well. Then you don't have to worry about when your restore points are made.

Also, if you're going to pirate things, make sure you're pirating them from a reputable source, and that you scan ALL of the files before clicking on any .exe file, and make sure you carefully read each part of the installation, oftentimes most malware hides within the opening menus and there's a box you need to untick - that's good advice in general since MANY even reputable programs, attempt to hook you into installing unwanted software by hoping you'll just click through the installation menus.
