Nattly wont leave my browsers alone

Title.

A few days ago, I downloaded a song called "08 g'maury (heavenly)." The file I downloaded was an .exe file (I know I'm a dumbass and I shouldn't have done this). But I wasn't thinking that at the time, because I did get my song, which is still there and works great.
However, the homepage to the two browsers I use primarily (Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox) have been changed to a site called "nattly.com." Visually, this site looks just like Google, but without the Google Logo. And on both browsers, when I try to reset everything to go back to my default home pages, upon restarting the browser, this nattly thing reappears.
Aside from this, there aren't any problems that I can tell with my computer. But the fact that this "nattly" seems to always return seems funny/bad to me.

Help?

You need to download Malwarebytes's root kit remover and let it do it's work.

Restore your computer to an earlier time, before you downloaded the music

I've run Malwarebytes (which found two things), as well as my antivirus, (which found nothing), and still nattly taunts me.
I'm taking this to whatthetech.

Run an antivirus would be the best way.

In addition to what everyone else has said, i would also recommend spybot search and destroy.

lol this is why you read everything when you download an exe file. There's always an option to not download extra stuff which many are malwares. Do not spam agree everything. Check the boxes that has checks on them. If there's no uncheck thingy, there's always disagree button which still leads to the download that you actually wanted.

Check the plug-ins. There's should be a nattly.com plug-in somewhere. Disable it. For Mozilla Fox there's a manual way to disable/remove it for good. Which I forgot how to do since it been a year that I have used Mozzilla Firefox. Same for Google Chrome.

Typical Trojan horse malware. Do you have an antivirus installed?

Malwarebytes is another tool used alongside (but does not replace) an antivirus. http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/

EDIT: I am also linking the Junkware Removal Tool as a secondary option to Malwarebytes. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/junkware-removal-tool/
