I got a fair few spyware adware on my laptop

And I can't get rid.

I got Eset smart security, ad aware and malware bytes and they don't get rid.

That newplayer ad keeps on coming up every single page I look at. It's proper annoying.

Anyone help here at all please?

Find the strongest magnet you can and swipe it over the HD. Guaranteed you won't get anything come back.

Or just put everything in cloud storage or ext. HD and fresh install.

Really fresh install. I was hoping not to do that.

Ok. Any advice on decent imaging software. I used to have ghost back in early 2000s and any time it got too much I would re-image my perfect build back with all the updates and drivers already there. Saved a hell of a lot of time.

There probably are other options rather than a fresh install tbh.

How confident are you with looking at the registry?
If you know the name of the spyware, you might get at it through there.
If you don't want to do it manually, you could try CCleaner or SlimCleaner, both of which are free.

I spend half my working week dealing with bloody malewares and crap like this.

You've tried most the options already.

Only extra I can suggest is Spybot and HijackThis - although with the latter you need to know what you're looking at to remove only the bad files.

If an infection is bad though, it will be quicker and easier for you to fresh load than to spend days fighting with it.

Oh yeah I already did spybot. Ten year ago spybot and adaware got rid of everything.

I'll go with then registery if you guide me to what I need to do. I'll back it up Before starting

haha tell me about it

my usual routine @ziyaan is run Ccleaner, then Malwarebytes and Superantispyware just after, then Kaspersky TDSS killer, and if all of them fail run Combofix (warning, cuts off your network/internet while running) - if that fails to get rid then its likely a re-image route im afraid
