Actually finally found the answer on here. When I downloaded the fbdownloader software, it installed other things. Some viral tube thing and another search engine similar to google but not google. forget the name but once I removed and unenabled them everything was back to normal. Too bad to keep what may have been a good program free they attach themselves to crappy stuff

You have probably downloaded malware. Do a Microsoft Security Scan at http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner to check for viruses and tell me the result
