Hello JesiandAbe,

Follow the initial instructions greyknight17 gave you, then please download HijackThis - this program will help us see the spyware/malware on your computer. Double-click on the file you just downloaded.
Click on the "Unzip" button to install. It will by default install to the directory - C:\PROGRAM FILES\HIJACKTHIS\

Double click on HijackThis.exe to run the program. It only takes moments to complete the scan.

1. If it gives you an intro screen, just choose 'Do a system scan and save a logfile'.
2. If you don't get the intro screen, just hit Scan and then click on Save log.
3. Post the hijackthis.log file in your current HijackThis thread. Do not attempt to fix anything in HijackThis.
