So when i go to paypal.com (i tried also tying it into google search, and then opening it) i get a "page not found" error.
That happens on both my computer and my laptop.
The thing is, i got a brand new laptop from my cousin and i haven't installed ANYTHING on it except trustworthy programs like sykpe, audacity, teamspeak…No games on it, only a couple of songs…I don't think i'm infected but i haven't found anything on google about this- although lots of people have issues with it.
My name is Satchfan and I would be glad to help you with your computer problem.

IMPORTANT:
Please DO NOT install/uninstall any programs unless asked to.
Please DO NOT run any scans other than those requested
Please download Junkware Removal Toolto your desktop.
shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista, 7, or 8; instead of double-clicking, right-mouse click JRT.exe and select "Run as Administrator"
the tool will open and start scanning your system
please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications
on completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open
post the contents of JRT.txt into your next message.
double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program – (Note: Vista & Windows 7, 8, 10 users, please right-click and select “Run as Administrator”)
select the “Scan” tab at the top
there are three scan types; choose Threat Scan, then click on Scan
when the scan is complete, if no malicious items are found you can close the program
if malicious items are found be sure that everything is checked and click Quarantine
when removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to restart your computer. (see Note below)
the log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply and exit MBAM.
NOTE: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts. Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.
So i'm using Windows 10 and don't wanna mess with the anti virus thing, what do i do about the programs and anti virus? Sorry if i'm being too cautious…
I don't have an antivirus installed, APPARENTLY it comes with the system, so i'm guessing it's Windows Defender, BUT when i go to the location you sent me, there is no Windows Defender file. LOL.
No hurry, do what you have to do with the dentist but be quick or your little visit will be for nothing
I dunno man, i'm not even allowed to say the D word (d followed by amn) soo..
But yeah, Iraq jrt, it failed to create a restore point but i continued anyways (i like to live dangerously) and it showed nothing, here it is:
