Have you tried AdBlock Plus extension for Google Chrome? https://adblockplus.org/

download VLC media player http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

did you try uninstalling Chrome?

Wow, that's not cool! Do you have any computer-savvy friends that would be messing with you? That's almost what it sounds like. If they were hacking you, I don't think they'd be wasting time letting you know they're present and in control of your computer. This is beyond me... good luck...

And obviously this is worst-case scenario, but if you're really paranoid you could backup any data and do a fresh install of Windows. p.s. what did you mean by "someone claiming they're from here took control of my computer and shut it down" ? from where? Was there some kind of message you...

you could try restaring into safe mode if you know how to do that, and from there I would download malwarebytes and run it.

personally, I would also run Malwarebytes

is it Windows XP?
