After I downloaded spybot and did a scan I had like 99 files that it said I needed to immunize so I selected them all and after I tried to use google and firefox I just got blank pages so I did a recovery and after that I have a ridiculous amount of adds that pop up if I try to close them it takes me to the site anyways I also discovered that I had downloaded an older version of spybot but when I clicked on the update it said there were none I did the backup registry. downloaded the farbar recovery scan tool and also the aswMRB log and followed the instructions to save them to my desktop. I also copied them to my post and tried to submit it but it would not allow me to on the infected computer So here I am on the laptop giving you all the info I can just not the files. I have windows 8.1 and I have an asus computer. PLEASE HELP

Let's see if you can go to this web site and download a tool to use.

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php) to your desktop.
Or from here http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/malwarebytes-anti-malware/

Open Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and click Update Now.
Once updated, click the Settings tab, followed by Detection and Protection and tick Scan for rootkits.
Click the Scan tab, ensure Threat Scan is checked and click Scan Now.
Note: You may see the following message, "Could not load DDA driver". Click Yes, allow your PC to reboot and continue afterwards.
If threats are detected, click the Apply Actions button. You will now be prompted to reboot. Click Yes.
Upon completion of the scan (or after the reboot), click the History tab.
Click Application Logs and double-click the Scan Log.
Click Copy to Clipboard and paste the log in your next reply.
