Down loaded the above, a load of scanning stuff came with it, in options I clicked no but it still took over and now locked the laptop so I can't get online. When I can get online Explorer has been kicked out and Biklini or something like that has muscled in. Help needed, I know the above is vague but it happened so quick.

Looks like you've just been hijacked, hopefully you caught nothing nasty.

1 ) Uninstall anything from your programs list installed that day or anything later that you don't know.

2 ) Give malwarebytes a try

3 ) Download hijackthis and post report to the forum.

4 ) What's your anti-virus package ?

Also if you can get into safemode restore to the day prior.

Get a decent free AV such as Avast, Avira, AVG etc, defender is next to useless.

Dunno what's happened to avira but it made my Intel nuc i3 incredibly slow, even made mouse freeze every mi ute or so. Avg seemed a lot better.

Not had that since Nortons of old.

All sorted, down loaded a MALAWARE doda last eve, this morning booted laptop up and it took over sorting itself out all working fine now.
Many thanks to you all, great site, great advice.
Happy Valentines to you and yours.

Really? You're downloading something from a shady site and are surprised to catch something?

There is no such thing as free (legal) movies and tv shows online.
