OK I am going to do the reinstall. When finished, and and then installing avast and malwarebytes, do you need me to do anything else? I will do windows updates also.

No just let me know if anything untoward occurs , but a fresh install will give a pristine system

Thanks for all your help! If I need to put anything back on the computer from my backup, do I scan it first with the anti virus and malwarebytes program. Should pictures and documents be okay? Do you know how I got it? Was it a file I downloaded or playing games on Facebook?

It probably came from a facebook link, which triggered a supposed Java/Flash update
Pictures and documents are not a problem with this type of malware the only ones to scan would be the actual programmes

Well my computer is well again!!!! Did reinstall and everything is looking good. Thanks for informing me about how i maybe got it. I think I did get a message last week about a java update and also a friend has been getting popups for java but luckily she did not click. I guess I did. I will let people know. Thanks so much for all your help! Hopefully will not need your help anymore.

To be honest unless you really need Java I would uninstall it, as there are a lot of holes in it at the moment
