My home page changed from google and I keep getting popups all time with ads. What do you think caused this and how can I fix it?

Seems to be some infection on your system , which has changed the home page and is popping up ads on your system. Just run malware bytes on your system and delete the infected files, and reboot the computer. Set the home page as Google again and I am sure everything will be ok. Also please remember to paste the log created by malware bytes here so that I can have a look at it.
