    download malwarebytes from here.....http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/

    update its definitions and do a quick scan in safe mode.
    enter safe mode on start up by hitting the f2 key or del key a few times fast.
    you may have to try another fnumber key f those dont work, it just depands what make your computer is thats all.

    if there is any problems malwarebytes will find them.

    also you could download superantispyware and scan with that too.

    both are free and very good for finding problems.

    oh yeah, when you get to safe mode you will have options for safe mode, safe mode with networking etc.
    use the arrow keys to go to safe mode and hit enter to run.

    after scanning your pc with both products, download Ccleaner from here

    run ccleaner and scan your registry for leftover junk files from and malware malwarebytes has found.
