My husband and I got some software called Fix-it for virus protection and it came with some extras to improve computer speed, etc. My husband was trying to "clean up" the computer and it get rid of some programs and it was still deleting after about a day and a half so I stopped it because it worried me he was deleting so much.

Now we are constantly getting Windows Installer Popups. I also tried to download Java and it would not let me download. Also he did something that I can no longer use Ctrl, Alt, Delete. A pop up comes on that says "Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator" We only have the one account on the computer.

I tried just re-installing the operating system but it just keeps restarting the computer.

I know its a lot but besides throwing this computer out I do not know what to do!! Any help would be great
