Sounds like malware or trojans maybe. I am not the expert here I am sure you will get better answers from others, but I would download and run malwarebytes anti-malware. get it here:

Before you run the scan, and I would do a full sacn you need to shutdown whatever antivirus software you are running. Sometimes they conflict.

Likely

Practice makes perfect but only if you practice perfectly!
