put it back to how it was when you bought it, you've probably installed some crap when trying to decrapify it.

Just do this. If its brand new, just run a restore and be good to go in 1 hour.

Then install a proper virus checker and firewall like Eset Smart Security when you get back up to speed.

Instructions for a restore will be with the PC.

Downloading things from strange places on the internet is what may have gotten you into this mess, so some may say to avoid links posted by strangers like myself.

I say that I'm trustworthy though.
