Hello!
For the Windows box, Junkware Removal Tool (JRT) and AdwCleaner are both available from

Those two should take care of the issue. If not, Malwarebytes (which you can try for free to clean your infection) will remove it.
NEVER PAY *ANYONE* for utilities to clean your infected PC. There ARE some good ones, but most are bogus. With the right tools, you can clean and optimize your own Windows PC for free - AND/OR make a buck or few off the poor souls who still use Windows.
Keep us posted on how to deal with this junkware on Linux, as this is THE first time I've heard of a Linux machine being infected with ANYTHING malicious...
