Uninstall the Ares program. Go to C:\ProgramFiles\ and delete the Ares folder.

Next, run an antivirus scan and an antispyware scan:
download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop
http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebytes_Ant...ware_d5756.html

Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.

Empty all temps and reboot your computer.
