Electro Detective:
Quick-ish Fix   -not too geeky-   suggestion if you don't want to re-install:                and get rid of bossy boots browsers

Get Revo Uninstaller and uninstall any unwanted or suspect software 

Revo will also stop any start up processes you feel are slowing things up or logging your activity,
you choose which processes (or all or none) and this can be undone  :phew:

If that doesn't totally resolve your issues,  install a decent freebie or time trial anti-malware program to clean up any nasties
You will have to research which one, many are invasive duds
or eye candy scareware subscription moneypits   :scared:


You can always use Revo again to to uninstall the anti-malware program if it doesn't behave later or did nothing but install adware and slow the computer down
 

You can also try the above in reverse, anti-malware program first, Revo second,
though I prefer to get Revo in first, and get things sorted medieval style   >:D


Anyways, you're in now.. good luck with it   :-+

Make sure they're set correctly.

Cool, thank you I will check them. I didn't set the date etc again since I got it going again.
