I tried AdwCleaner, but it didn't work. I still get redirected to that dangerous domain after I click the confirmation link from Teamviewer.

I already confirmed my account from another pc. But since I always get redirected from that link, I can use it to see if I actually succeed on deleting that malware.

I was able to install, and run AdwCleaner, but it still didn't work.

I still get redirected sometimes to crownhub.com after I click on a link. The links that get redirected were kinda random, until I made an account with TeamViewer. After you make your account, you need to click a confirmation link on your e-mail. Even after having run AdwCleaner, when I go back to my mail, and then click the confirmation link, my browser tries to take me to the crownhub domain.

Are you sure the email and confirmation link are valid?
Can't they be fake?
Is that the only occasion you get redirected, on clicking that confirmation link?

I clicked that link from another computer, and it worked fine. I got sent to Teamviewer's page. I sometimes get redirected to crownhub, when I click a link. Like a month ago, this was happening to me a lot on photobucket, but not the last time I went there. And, like 2 months ago this was a lot worse. The homepage for google chrome was changed, and I was getting constantly a lot of pop ups.

For this, I got malwarebytes, and advanced system care. Those 2 programs cleaned most of the adware I had in my pc, but this crownhub is still there.

When I use a free proxy, I get redirected more often. As I said at the beginning of the thread, I use a free proxy to use Pandora, because it's not allowed in my country.

Many of those include backdoors or worse. The fact you have this infection is just a sign. Do you know where it came from?

If you mean like from what page exactly it cam from, I don't know that. When I'm using the proxy I only stay at Pandora's page listening to music. When I want to do something else I disconnect the proxy.

I wonder if there is another alternative to free proxies, or at least a free trustable proxie...
