see if you can remove the great find temporarily by going to the extensions and removing it. i would first go to "uninstall programs" in control panel and see what looks fishy. after that, get malwarebytes to scan. after than get avast to clean the rest out. thats what i did for my friend's computer infested with viruses/malware, anything you can name. now it's as fast as when he bought it

Okay, i'll try that out. Brb.

Ill try that! I use IE because everything else doesn't work for me. FireFox seems to always give me adware (Just by going to google) Chrome always crashes on me.

 

So why do I use IE? Because it isn't slow, It isn't terrible, it just works.

Ok what ever works for you then :) though maybe you try opera http://www.opera.com.

Edit: Also try malwarebytes.
