Ok. So my computer has the following things wrong with it:

1. Is slow and unresponsive
2. Has pop up windows that come from nowhere ranging from dating sites, to news/newspaper report sites, etc.
3. The sizing of the icons, desktop, web pages and skype have all gotten extremely large. When i try to fix it they go back to being large after a period of time without me doing so.
4. When i turn the automatic updates on in the control panel, it switches back of in a few minutes on its own.
5. I can no longer open up textpad documents. I can open them in notepad but not textpad. If i try textpad it does not open and also causes my computer to bog down severly and my computer runs at like 90% capacity.

HELP!!!!!!
