Perfect....sounds simple enough. Thanks alot
I used google chrome for about a year and it kept crashing on me (people swear by it but it isnt for me) it enables add-ons even when they are turned off causing slow internet speed. Try firefox if IE isnt your thing. also if your PC has lots of clutter there is a program called CCleaner for cleaning out the hard drive. If you see a massive decline in performance the PC will probably need to be restored or replaced. Restoring is free if done yourself there is a feature in "start" where you have an option to create a recovery disc if you don't already have one. If you need further details on that aspect feel free to PM or youtube is your friend as well, but to me it sounds as if it's a browser issue.
Try downloading Firefox internet browser and using that before running scans once you are running firefox delete google chrap
if it is still slow then download the malware program and run a scan.
Malwarebytes is cool but I have had more luck with Hitman pro in the past, especially on some root kit´s, Then again if its that bad you really just need to wipe and start over.
These 3 will fix what can be fixed-

Rogue Killer will stop all running rootkits and most scripts.
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
CCleaner will delete a lot of cached stuff, and can clean up the registry.
And as already mentioned, Malwarebytes will find the other stuff.
Might need to run Malwarebytes in "Safe" mode, it will find everything there.
Once everything is clear, go to the stop button in lower left of the screen, click on it, and type "msconfig" in the search box and hit enter.
This will bring up a box, under the General tab, select the "selective Startup" button, then click on the "startup" tab.
Uncheck everything except your anti virus and malwarebytes, click on the apply button, it will ask to restart, click ok and restart.
This will prevent every program from loading when you start the computer, they still start when you need them, but are not running tying up memory and cpu when they are not needed.
