    uninstall the junk applications you've installed, and follow the advice you've already been given
    Don't you dare criticise what you cannot understand

    You could try running some scans with your antivirus, and these programs:
    MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
    adwCleaner

    check security and privacy permissions, in control panel - internet options.

    maybe some software that can help, too.

    Except don't bother with your virus killer, as these aren't viruses - Its malware
    Malwarebytes will remove the crap, ADW cleaner will tidy up.
