Computer is very slow and Nortons cannot remove Vosteran, Stormwatcher

My computer became very slow when downloading preschool abc papers for my daughter.  I kept getting an error about chromium causing high CPU usage.  Started receiving popups from StormWatcher?  Which I have never heard of.  Went on and found these programs recently added to my computer, but could not uninstall them.  Tried to run Norton's powereraser and while it found these programs to possibly be harmful, it could not remove Vosteran.  Please help.
