    Forget about signing in and download the Malwarebytes software as instructed.

    Instead of letting it sleep, just click on the start button, then 'shut down' - give it a minute and switch it back on … then try the Malware Bytes thing

    Malwarebytes (if you're speaking to a technician make sure you use this name rather than refer to it as malware, which would only cause confusion) won't have caused the issues you are having now and there is no need to remove it - in fact you should retain it and run scans with it on a regular basis. I honestly think that professional help is your best option, and you should also ask their advice (or ask on here once your laptop is working again) about how to avoid similar issues in the future.
