So about two days ago, my computer suddenlt became extremely slow, and every other minute or so, 2 or more internet explorer windows would pop up with sketchy websites that I've never been to. I went into my programs, deleted everything that may jave ben a virus of some sort, and I disabled a ton of useless addons in internet explorer, checked my firefox (the browser I use the most), and then downloaded avast. I ran avast scanner 4 times so far and deleted any viruses that showed up, installed every update possible, and got it fixed. However, that only lasted until I shut it down for the night and checked again this morning, and it is running horribly, freezing up, tons of random pop up windows, I can't even use the computer. How can I fix this?

Try this:



Firstly, boot your computer to the Safe Mode menu screen.



To do this with Windows 8, this link should prove useful. Once there, enable Safe Mode with Networking. If you run another version of Windows, ignore the link and keep reading:

You do this by repeatedly pressing F8 as soon as you boot up. Once there, use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode with Networking. Continue to boot from there, by pressing Enter. You will now see some drivers being loaded. There will be a pause at some point. This usually lasts for no more than 30 seconds.



Start Internet Explorer, and when the program is open, click on the Tools menu and select Internet Options.



Now click on the Connections tab.



Now click on the Lan settings button.



Where it says Use a proxy server for your Lan, ensure there is no tick in the box, then press the OK button to close this screen. Now press the OK button to close the Internet Options screen.



If that's all okay, remain in Safe Mode and try this...
