So the first hit on Google for a ps3 emulator is [bad site]
which is completely malware and has gotten me to apparently install some shit in my bios. I really like my computer, it was kind of expensive, and I would like to be able to at least repair my bios if not my hdd. After uninstalling everything I could it definitely still lingers with weird ads online and my homepage being this weird search engine powered through bing called "Trovi" Please any advice.
 
Scan your PC through Malwarebytes and HitmanPro.

If the problem still persists, try reinstalling windows or reformatting your HDD.
