My virus protector keeps finding this one item as fast as it removes it pops back up again.
It says it's in the C drive can't find it there it is:
Adware Generic_.rKF
I'm running smart PC care now, to see if that will remove it

I would download & run Malwarebytes free..
https://www.malwarebytes.org/free/
It is better at getting rid of these adware & spamware products than any of the Virus Killers are.
If you run Malwarebytes & your virus protection later says that it is back then that is a sure sign that your Browser has been infected with one of these odious toolbar & search engine spams.
If that happens then shout again - but that is a bit trickier & complex to get rid of..

Avast free antivirus.....
http://www.avast.com/en-au/lp-ppc-win-0 ... vQodL0cApQ
It will track down problems then do a re-boot to make sure problem is removed.
It can also do a "boot scan" which will look for problems "before" they load.
Works for me....

What ever you do bumper do not try running a system with 2 (or more) virus scanning programs in operation.
It will slow the system down no end & give you zero additional protection.
Pick a virus program (any one the free ones are all of a muchness) allow it to run regular updates & scans & stick with it.
What your current scanner is seeing is not a virus, it is Adware.
Maywarebyes is specially designed to get rid of Malware. Adware & Spamware - the other free virus scanners are designed as protection against viruses.
These are two different things, with different aims & seriousness.
However, you don't especially want either on your system as they will both do things that you don't want (or need) them to do.
I pay for a virus scanner (more because it also gives me phone protection & anti-theft & also high security internet banking) but I still run Malwarebytes on a regular basis & it still, sometimes, finds issues..
