I have adware infection that apparently is hiding in the browser.  I cannot close the window.  Ctrl. alt delete does not work. restarting computer won;t close it.
Geek squad could not help as I don't have a service contract.  Anything I can do without a contract?

Hi cmarmion
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
I am presuming that you have the Best Buy/Geek Squad version of WSA?  And if so I was under impression that support was included in the price of the subscription...but I could well be incorrect.
 
If you believe that the infection is 'hiding' in your browser then I would go to the extensions/addons page/manager, check for any addons/extensions listed therein that are supsicious looking and disable them, and then see if that mitigates the issue in some way or even completely.
 
Regards, Baldrick
