Sometimes when I'm writing posts my browser will automatically jump back 2-5 pages or something even go crazy. I don't think I'm getting hacked by anyone but it really acts as if it's being controlled by another person.
I've ran Ccleaner before and it still does it.

A virus can do anything. A virus is a program that performs undesirable effects on your computer, therefore virus cleaners can't catch all viruses because it is up to a computer owner to decide if they like a program or if it is doing weird things to there computer. It's not like all viruses are a .vir file. It can just be another everyday program.
So yes, it is possible it is a virus.

I kinda think how I got it more then likely from doing Ads from different sites or toolbars.
Have no idea what sort of Program to try to detect it, really don't wanna do another format.

What I suggest doing is running TDSSKiller by Kaspersky. That'll find RootKits rather than CCleaner.

I agree with Dylan , Kaspersky makes some great programs so run the TDSSKiller. Also as Nick said Viruses are capable of anything, never know what they'll do. I also suggest install Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes for security.
