Accidentally downloaded adware (Dregol, among others) on May 11, 2015. After deleting the programs I found I was still having trouble with certain applications opening links in chrome. I ran a malwarebytes scan, and it appeared to find exactly what I was looking for (Dregol and other software). The programs were deleted, the computer was restarted, but now none of my browsers work. They open, but cannot open any sites. I have internet connection, as I can make skype calls and download files...
