You may have agreed to some conditions when you installed click bait software on your system. I would suggest you clean the system of unwanted programs first. To do that, go to control panel and remove the software that seem malicious. Then remove their settings from Chrome. I hope this helps!

Another method is use another computer to download MalwareBytes, then installed it on the affected computer. Hopefully it can detect & auto-clean for you. Worst case is you need to backup all your data, do a reformat & install anti-virus then only restore back your data (do a scan before restoring).

Your external harddisk will be infected by virus so please be cautious and don't connect to another PC. Then now do a clean reformat to the harddisk, use another PC to create a Windows bootable USB thumbdrive. Do a clean installation for your Windows, make sure to delete the harddisk then redo partition and reformat. After clean install a new Windows, the first thing you need to do is install an anti-virus before you connect the infected external harddisk. Scan it thoroughly before you restore all your important data from the external harddisk.
