Just do a system scan. That is how I found it.

In my case this let ads pop up anywhere in my browser. I couldn't remove the folder, because some of the processes were working the whole time. In Windows save mode I was able to remove the folder and all contents, but I'm not 100% sure if that fixes everything since it's not shown in the task manager or anything else. At least ESET and Avira couldn't find any adware.
