My grandparents got a virus somehow and asked me to clean it up and fix it. The virus was easy to remove but there seems to be a program I can't find that causes chrome to randomly open new windows with ads. First it connects to pugu5l.com and then it goes to random ad sites like this. I tried malwarebytes/bitdefender/hitmanpro. Any ideas?

This is one of the links it connects me to https://vlwcmgb48.ecfwg.xyz/?sov=73272826&hid=gusmwiggmkismms&nodl=nodl&nodl=1&cntrl=00010&pid=956&redid=67853&gsid=68&campaign_id=20&p_id=956&id=XNSX.-r67853-t68&impid=a476145e-2c88-11e9-8ab7-12c26be3c49e]
