Try logging into a different user profile with admin rights. Then see if things work as they're supposed to.. If you don't already have a second admin account, you should have. Create one from the "Control Panel-User Accounts" section.
Of course, here, we get rid of the malware junk by following ALL of the instructions in the link below.

Hi there,
My computer's had a strange virus for a little while, but it's been worse in the last couple weeks. It will continually open browser page after browser page, whether or not there was already one open in the first place. When it's not doing that, the page I'm on will keep refreshing to the home page. This happens with google chrome, Mozilla, and even IE. I've tried multiple malware and anti-virus programs and none have solved the problem. If you have encountered this and stopped it, please respond. It's making it near impossible to get my schoolwork done!
