While the software "SimpleMalwareProtectorSetup" found 13 infections, it did not at all prevent Price Fountain Ads from
popping up and overlaying regular (legal) advertisements in the typical chaotic manner of Price Fountain; throughout marked by the note "powered by Price Fountain", their ads make the regular ads hard to view or read. Running the Kaspersky cleaning software didn't do better - their result was rather the same: no infections.
