I searched on google, and came upon this site. I think someone with a similar problem to mine was helped.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
I think my problem is a combination of spyware, viruses.
1) (yesterday) OUTERINFO popups. I ran searches, to delete anything that had the name in it, but still have popups (but admittedly, not as much as before I deleted some of the files). (Edit: Today, my popups don't come from outerinfo, I think the problem evolved from last night!)
2) My Security Center shows that I have a TrojanDownloader.XS and other .dll errors. There's a button to remove the file, but for some reason, when I click on it, it doesn't do anything.
3) I get random popups with the address "about:security" and the title is Top Rated Spyware Removers (Software) (THAT WAS YESTERDAY), Today it seems to be from systemerrorfixer
4) My background changed to a blue one that says "Warning: Spyware threat has been detected on your PC. Your computer has several fatal errors due to spyware activity. It is strongly recommended to install an antispyware software to close all security vulnerabilities. Antispyware software helps protect your PC against spyware and other security threats. Click here to scan your PC for spyware…" If i try to change the background, it changes back automatically.
5) I get random pop ups (red border) of WIndows Security Center system warning with some alert of a possible spyware. Again, none of the links for help work.
6) (Last one, so bear with me) Every few minutes, a yellow triangle ends up on my taskbar (with a black exclaimation point) that says something about spyware on my computer and to "click here for more information." This morning there were two (slightly dissimilar) so I know atleast one of them is a a rogue.
I cannot access my taskmanager.Somehow the Awola Spyware rogue was downloaded this morning, but I deleted that. (perhaps not completely)

3) I get random popups with the address "about:security" and the title is Top Rated Spyware Removers (Software) (THAT WAS YESTERDAY), Today it seems to be from systemerrorfixer
4) My background changed to a blue one that says "Warning: Spyware threat has been detected on your PC. Your computer has several fatal errors due to spyware activity. It is strongly recommended to install an antispyware software to close all security vulnerabilities. Antispyware software helps protect your PC against spyware and other security threats. Click here to scan your PC for spyware…" If i try to change the background, it changes back automatically.
5) I get random pop ups (red border) of WIndows Security Center system warning with some alert of a possible spyware. Again, none of the links for help work.
6) (Last one, so bear with me) Every few minutes, a yellow triangle ends up on my taskbar (with a black exclaimation point) that says something about spyware on my computer and to "click here for more information." This morning there were two (slightly dissimilar) so I know atleast one of them is a a rogue.
I cannot access my taskmanager.Somehow the Awola Spyware rogue was downloaded this morning, but I deleted that. (perhaps not completely)
