every time i try to run a disc cleaner program, the computer shuts off.?

my computer is warning me there are script errors, etc. i have been trying to run my disc cleaner program, etc., but every time i do, the computer shuts almost immediately after it starts scanning for the errors. also, i am the only one on my computer, (and only one in the home) and my history says i have looked up certain sites, and i know that i definantly did not. can someone tell me what the problem sounds like, and what my options are in taking care of this problem? thank you. i don't know much about computers and i'm desperate.

    if it say's you looked at sites that you never did & you know for a fact that no visitors have then you need to run anti virus scan's and keyloger scans . it sounds as your pc has been hyjacked & a hacker is controling it by remote. this free tool will help fix many issue's with this http://www.iobit.com/ run the updates after you download it. and it fix's registry errors as well. this might bypass the hacker long enough to fix them and stop the jurk. good luck.

    The greater icons you have on your taskbar is the subject. each a form of signify a application on standby waiting to apply. The equipment has to close down thoroughly each application earlier preceeding to the subsequent one etc. a similar is in opposite, in the event that they're in the "commence up" folder at this methodology checklist, the equipment lots each application so that is going to run earlier intending to the subsequent one. some are positioned there directly with the aid of a application once you install it. What I advise is, study them and desperate what you desire to load at at the start up and merely delete the rest. some classes in spite of the undeniable fact that have not got a catalogue so which you will ought to bypass into this methodology and take out the tick or despite the fact that the place it says "load this application while beginning your computer" or something like that!

    Try starting in safe mode, then run the scans. It should keep the bugs down while you clean up.
