As per what you have mentioned, I guess your system got infected with spywares and it need to be cleaned. There are many good softwares available. You have not mentioned if your system already has some anti spyware installed. Some good ones are Malawarebytes, Spybot etc. I have use Spybot so I will guide you through this software.

Run Spybot to Remove Spyware from your system:

A. Spybot can be downloaded from the following Web site:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html
B. Refer to the following Web site for installation instructions as well as information on how to use Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/tutorial/index.html
C. After the installation has finished, you will see a Spybot - Search & Destroy button on your desktop and in your Start menu. Click on it to start Spybot-S&D the first time.
D. The first button on the toolbar at the bottom is named Check for problems. Click on this button to start the scan.
E. Once the scan is finished you will see a list of everything that was found. The red entries represent spyware and similar threats. The green entries represent usage tracks. If you click on each product a pop-up window will be displayed with information on that particular spyware. YOU are responsible for reading through the list of spyware found and removing the appropriate files.
F. Click on the Fix selected problems buttons to remove the spyware that was found on your machine.
