Computer Security & Viruses/Mighty Magoo Text Links/Virus

Question
Somehow I recently got the "Mighty Magoo" adware/malware/whatever this thing is on my computer. It underlines words on webpages. I want to get rid of this but I've been unsuccessful. I've ran Malwarebytes Anti-Malware in Safe Mode and restarted, but no luck. I've ran the Anti-Malware software in regular mode as well, but still nothing. The first time I ran it, there were a bunch of malicious files, and it said it deleted them. The other times I've ran it, it says there is only 1 or 2 and it deletes them. But they're always there again when I restart! Please help me with this problem!
