How can I fix this? I was gonna get a friend of a friend to take a look but I'd rather solve it myself if anyone can help.
Any advice anyone has would be greatly appreciated cheers ****nugget ****stain

On another computer, download Malwarebytes (free program available online) to a thumb drive or other removable media and install it when you boot up to safe-mode. (Alternately, you can use safe mode with networking to have access to the internet if you want to download it straight to the PC) Once installed, update it and run a full scan. Let it fix everything it finds. After this point, you *should* be able to boot up in normal mode, whereupon you'll need to go ahead and get an anti-virus program like Avast, which is also free, and run a boot-time scan. Avast will also actively protect you from getting into the situation you're in right now.
If you are unable to install Malwarebytes in safe mode, let me know. You'll have to mess around in the registry.
