I never even manually signed into my email while this was acting up. Besides, i still get the random ads, so I'm cautious about changing it while i still have issues. I'll try some of the other suggested programs as well... I know some stuff about computers but not about their protection (I've always been lazy about that part).

When you get infected on your computers, most of the time your passwords will be compromised from cookies and such automatically.

There is a program that prevents this, but I cannot find it right now. Something like PsyKey.

try to update drivers! if not, just clean all unnecesary files from youre hdd, or reinstall (reinstall is the last option) ofcours you may need to buy a new hdd, cause these kinfs of slowdowns are happening cause of HDD or drivers, sometimes it maybe something like a soundcard, or overheating!
change the thermo paste on youre CPU, cause it might be overheating! its called autothrottling, you can disable that, just google it, but it maybe risky!

If you're trying to get on the game show "Are you smarter than the internet?" you're on the right track, but you'll be "the internet".

You don't fix viruses with thermal paste and a new sound card.

You have a love affair with exclamation points or something?

He clearly has something still infecting his computer, as he stated there's still adware/scareware/something similar still popping up. You can't even try to diagnose other potential slowdown points until the software is clean.


How and when to reply to a person in need of technical help?

Provide the OP with as most specific answers as possible, meaning you go into some detail how to get his problem fixed and don’t just post some general information. Of course it’s OP’s responsibility to write his level of technical knowledge or lack of one and if not, for you to try to determine his level of knowledge and respond correspondingly.
When you know what you are talking about, meaning you have expert knowledge, advanced knowledge, experience with the same or similar problem or you’ve researched the particular problem.
Try to avoid argument about a specific thing if it doesn’t help the OP, only do so if a person is wrong on the matter of OP’s question.
Try to keep track of your posts, if you try to help someone and don’t reply if he has a sub question or a question regarding your answer that there is no point in posting in the first place. We are all doing this on our free time and will and sometimes it will not be possible to further reply, but you should certainly try.
