Adware Help

Not an option. I lost loads of stuff when I moved to my new PC and I've no clue how to back up all my programmes. I've done it with documents and iTunes but other software, games, Word, Excel, Lightroom, Elements etc etc I've no idea and had to buy new licenses/security code for stuff I already had paid for on my previous PC to get it on my new one. Don't wanna risk that again.

This is what I use,when you get it sorted backup your system partition to an external hard drive, make a boot disk, and all your stuff is replaced to as it was before,also good if you have to replace your hard drive ever,

I've seen some of these pesky adverts/malware make and enable a entry into your browsers add ons, have a check, find add ons in IE Tools/Manage Add-ons, if using Firefox it's Tools/add-ons, Chrome Tools/Extensions. You might recognise the culprits if they are there, disable them.
Check Start/remove programs list, if there uninstall it. You'll probably need to check msconfig/startup too and disable the malware if showing in there.

Disable System Restore first then do a full scan with Malwarebytes as suggested earlier in the thread. Restart and if all is ok remember to re-enable System Restore.
