If powershell popped up itself and many extensions install to your browser, and additional software install to your computer without your permission, then you're basically infected. There is no simple advice how to solve your problem. Every infection is different and fighting them requires lot of knowledge. You may have luck and get rid of it using AdwCleaner, but since powershell is involved, registry may have hidden encoded code that will execute anyway. But sure - you can try AdwCleaner and install Comodo Firewall so you'll be able to track what processes wants to connect to internet and limit range of infection.

 

But probably you'll end formatting drive or ask some experienced friend for help (not remotely).
