BrowserSafer.exe

BrowserSafer.exe was installed why my daughter downloaded a program.
It has a folder inside my C:/ProgramFiles (86x) and the two .exe cannot be deleted. Additionally, it has a data.dat file that is saving itself and creating a sizable file. The data.dat file will run until it is 666 gigabytes and maxes out the storage capacity of my harddrive.
I have ran the Malware scanner AdwCleaner and it deletes folders ... but the BrowserSafer Folder remains, the .exe(s) are there, and the data.dat continues to run.
How do I fix this?

Hi Eric, I would recommend uninstalling all recently installed suspicious applications then scan your computer with MalwareBytes Antimalware and Spyhunter (https://www.pcrisk.com/top-spyware-removers). Both of these programs are great at detecting and removing adware and potentially unwanted applications. These programs should detect and remove BrowserSafer adware for you.
