    Hi Ravikash

    You should run a scan with the free version of MalwareBytes to see if it can remove this adware for you . . .

    https://www.malwarebytes.com/

    Restart your PC

    If that is still appearing on your PC:

    Click the link below to download a small free utility that does not require installation

    When the file downloads, unzip it.

    Depending on your system, run Autoruns or Autoruns64 as Administrator

    With that utility, you can right click and delete any startup item in Windows

    Look for any reference to cloudnet on the initial long list and also on the Logon Tab, then untick any you find . .

    Try running these programs:

    MBAM free: https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/

    Eset online scanner: http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/

    Adwcleaner: https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/

    If these find one or more infections but do not fully remove them it will be wise to register with a malware removal site to receive dedicated malware removal instructions, an expert will remain with you throughout the process until confirmation that your PC is 100% clean.
