The title is fairly explanatory. Something has infected my computer, covering all browsers (IE, Firefox and Chrome) with adverts where there are normally none. I've done quick scans and full scans, and all Norton can find are some tracking cookies (which it deleted, but this did not fix the problem).
A McAfee scan showed that apparently something about tracksrv was at work. I looked into it, but I have no idea what programs are safe to download and use (I don't want to risk downloading something only to make my PC's condition worse).
I tried to download Norton Power Eraser, but I just get a long error:
Could not find a part of the path 'e:\sym_logs\rescue_tools\npe_2013-7-31.log'.

I'm using Norton 360, Windows 7 SP1.
Any help and solutions would be HUGELY appreciated.
