Dear Gator, Boozad, NoelDP, Gregrocker and Georgeks
I want to say a very very heartfelt thank you for helping me fix my laptop. Georgeks was right... i did the factory reset and EVERYTHING went back to normal! So Georgeks thank you so much. Gregrocker thank you so much for giving me the option of a reinstall and if my laptop ever gives problems again, i will be sure to come back to this thread and revisit every single one of the options laid out here. Thank you all SO much. Have a rocking day and may God bless every single one of you I'd offer each of you a hug and a free consult if i could lol. one last question before i mark this as solved... If i suffer from pop up ads again, what is the first thing i can do to totally eradicate them?

Install MBAM now, and get used to how it works... scan with it once a week or so, and immediately if you suspect you've been hijacked.
