Windows 8.1 Computer taken over.

Question

My daughter used my computer last night to download a movie turned off my virus protection and used a program to down load.  By the time I realized it was too late.  She down loaded something called Optimization tool and uTorrent.  I uninstalled
both but now I have to go into programs and run Chrome from there, all desk top icons to connect to internet will not work. My links in my emails won't work and says my settings don't allow be to open links.  I have run a deep scan using Vipre antivirus
(this is a paid antivirus),  The other problem is that my computer is new and running windows 8.1 and I have no idea where to find files or how to empty my temp files.  And before anyone say it, yes I know I should not have let her on but much can
happen in a blink of an eye.  I am assuming my computer is infected with something that has taken control of it.

Hello,
The Windows Desktop Perfmon and Diagnostic tools forum is to discuss performance monitor (perfmon), resource monitor (resmon), and task manager, focusing on HOW-TO, Errors/Problems, and usage scenarios.
As the question is off topic here, I am moving it to the
Where is the Forum... forum.
