    Vst-guitar.info ad on all webpages

    Yea so I've been looking around and I've found a couple people on different forums that have this...whatever it is. So these ads come up on almost all webpages and just show guitar stuff and some random porn...I'm pretty tired of seeing all that stuff all the time so yea, here's my HijackThis log. Thanks in advance for any help!
