How to clean the infected notebook?

When I bought this Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S notebook, I used it couple of months without downloading antivirus program, which was a mistake of course. Then it got highly infected. I called a company and made a 3 month contact for $200 ad they cleaned it out, downloaded antivirus kasperski. Then they provided different kind of services during the 3 months. Now that time is over, they offer another deal for $150, but I'm student and don't want to pay that much money. My notebook looks like highly infected again. I don't know the reason, I click to noting more than university webpages, or kind of safe webpages like Youtube. I really need to clean the notebook, because it is too slow and doesn't let me do even homework properly. Scanning and cleansing doesn't help. Is there any other option to clean it myself? Or any service company operating in US to provide a cheaper contract, maybe one time service?

My computer is constantly using 2.4 gigs of my ram how do I stop this? Is this normal?

I just got a new laptop which is nice and has good specs, i7 processor 6gigs of ram and a 2gig dedicated graphics card and a 20 gig ssd. I opened my task manager for the first time and noticed that while I had no windows open my computer was already using 20-30% of my ram… Is this normal for windows8? I'm scared to stop processes that may be essential.

My laptop suddenly started running really slow. How do i fix it?

I dunno if this has been asked before for my particular situation. Basically, I have a lenovo laptop, running on windows 7.

I was on it the other day and it was running super fast. All I did was get on wattpad and write a bit, check my emails, and then got off. When I went to get on the next morning, it was running slow. Very slow. I didn't download anything weird at anytime, so I don't think I have a virus. Plus, I have anti-virus software. It also keeps doing weird things like going to the home screen without any of the icons. And sometimes when I try to turn it off it shows all these weird images and websites, so I'm guessing I have a virus. But it will turn off.

Has anyone else had this problem before? Also, any way I can fix it at home?

How is this laptop for under $900?

https://t.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/lenovo/y-series/y510p/?sb=:000001C9:00010256:
It is massively marked down. I have looked for flaws but can't seem to find any. Are there any better laptops for the price range (below $900)? I will be playing a few games but nothing too major. Day Z will probably be the most strenuous game I play and this should run that fine or am I wrong. Any help or opinion would be greatly appreciated!

No sound device detected? Computer assistance required?

Recently I downloaded Skyrim on Steam. I managed to play a couple of hours of it yesterday before it blue-screened for no reason and I had to hold the power button until my laptop shut off.
I rolled my eyes and switched my laptop back on.

However, when I did so, I discovered a whole other bunch of things had gone wrong:
- None of the internet browsers would open (Chrome, Internet Explorer) - saying 'Class not detected'
- Links won't open with a browser - e.g Links on Skype will not open, I have to copy and paste.
- Dropbox won't open, but does not come up with an error message.
- When I try and play Skyrim again, it comes up with the error message 'No sound device detected, Skyrim can't run'
- When I try and open up 'Manage audio devices' on my computer, it says 'Sever execution failed'.
- When having a layer of browser windows open, both will randomly act like I've clicked off them when I have not.
- Netflix will not load programmes after clicking on them, just a black screen.

However, I managed to get Chrome working by going in to the files and running the browser direct from the.exe and all my other Steam-run games are working, just not Skyrim.

I'm working off a Lenovo G505s Laptop, AMD A10, 8GB RAM, 1TB, with Windows 8.1

I've searched the web for multiple ways to try and fix everything, but nothing seems to be working. If anyone who has a higher computer understanding than me could figure this lot out, I would be incredibly grateful.

Help picking a new laptop?

I'm looking for a new laptop. My mom said she would spend up to $700, and if t costs more than that I'll need to pitch in my own money. Some of the laptops I'm considering are a bit more expensive, and I'm not sure how much better they are than the cheaper ones… These are the options I've come up with, but if you know something better that isn't too expensive, please include a link! Your input in appreciated.

These first two are currently my top picks.
