How do i remove "Ads by CouponDropDown" ?

First i thought it was from Facebook, but then i saw it again on Youtube.
I was thinking that it's probably something i downloaded, a plug-in or something but couldn't figure it out.

Download AdwCleaner from the below link.
http://general-changelog-team.fr/fr/down… (This is a direct download link)
Double click on the downloaded file (AdwCleaner.exe)
click on Run. (if required by the security warning)
Now click on Delete,
a notification will pop up, click on OK
when deletion has finished a message will pop up,
after reading it click on OK,
you will then get a notification AdwCleaner must restart the computer,
click on ok.
when the computer restarts a text file will open up, close it.
Double click on the downloaded file (AdwCleaner.exe)
click on uninstall then click on yes to remove the utility from your computer.

then run a scan with
Norman Malware Cleaner > http://normanasa.vo.llnwd.net/o29/public…
to mop up any thing left. (remove whatever it finds.)

NOTE: AdwCleaner is a reliable removal tool for adware, toolbars,
potentially unwanted programs and Browser Hijackers.
It works with a Search and Deletion method.
No installing required,
It can be easily be removed
by clicking on the ineptly named uninstall button.

IMPORTANT NOTE :
The SmartScreen filter in Internet Explorer can block the download of AdwCleaner,
This is obviously a false alarm...
If you encounter this problem,
check out this article http://general-changelog-team.fr/en/home…
to see how to successfully download AdwCleaner.
