I went there to that link and pressed 'Download'. Then after the instalation, google chrome shout down itself. Then my mouse and keyboard stopped working and appeared a blue screen (not the windows blue screes) with an emote ' ;( ' saying that it's repairins some stuff.
I shout down the system presing the power buttor for some seconds.
I came back, then i went to control panel to try to uninstall it. It's called 'MYSTARTSEARCH UNINSTAL'
Now when i opened chnome it goes directly to http://www.mystartsearch.com/?type=hppp&ts=1416174588&from=smt&uid=SamsungXSSDX840XEVOX500GB_S1DHNSAF910615X

When i try to uninstal that thing, a blue screen pops up 'uninstal mystartsearch' then saying 'to start uninstalling please type the characters in the picture below'. This is ridiculous!
After i type them, i press continue, then a bar appears charging and after it finishes i press continue again.
Then it says ' Select component to be removed' this are the ones that it allows me to select:
Homepage
Default Search
Shortcut
IE Newtab
Firefox Newtab
Chrome Newtab



What can i do, please help me!!!!

You would have installed them if you didnt select advanced or custom install and it installed.

Thats what can happen if you download free programs

Run adwcleaner http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/dl/125/

Click on scan wait for it to finish then click on clean wait for that to finish then reboot

Close browsers first

Theyre adware not viruses

First i selected all those option and it looks like it uninstalled. Then i downloaded that antumalware and on the 'right-down' corner pops up a tab saying ' that it blocked stuff. After the scan it says non-malware items detected: 421 and in the down part the ir a lot of stuff and names like for example: PUP.Optional.IePluginService.A type: File Action: Quarantine
There are a lot of them that says 'registry key' .
All action sys 'Quarantine' except a single one that says 'Ignore once' It's called PUP.Optional.IePluginService.A
There is also a program calld Search Protect that i can't get rid of it.

I think it's over, however i downloades it 3 times. Does the 3 downloads use space or is there a way to clean that data? (it's because whenever i open chrome it opens what i left open the last time i was using it.

Sorry about the virus.
First, try checking all of the options, and click uninstall. If that does not work, try uninstalling through CCleaner. If you dont have that, try ADWCleaner. It usually works for stuff like that. MalewareBytes, Avast, Norton, etc may also work. Once you get it uninstalled, use a program called Unchecky. Sometimes when you are in an installer, it will say a few license terms, and then a page with something like "Yes, install (program name) along with this". This may pop up, or be under the advanced options. You can uncheck those to stop it from installing adware, or you can use unchecky to automatically uncheck these extra unwanted programs and keep them from being uninstalled.
