Hey guys I have a Toshiba Satellite p745 yes its a piece of trash, but recently I got really messed up I had so many popups and stuff but by using malware-bytes i removed the pop-ups now I get one pop-up that demands a windows key and tells me I don't have one with three links at the top. It has some other info too like my computer name and the date / time.

I used those three links to get here as my task bar, desktop, and icons are totally gone. right now my chrome page is function well, but no task bar at bottom of page. So what should I do ? Is this a big problem thanks
 
All three of those links are ways for other people to get remote access to your computer. If you used them, then you should consider the laptop to be compromised - someone could be spying on everything you're doing with it, including collecting logins and passwords.

Wipe it and reinstall Windows. It's the only way to be sure.
 
I had an older Toshiba, and I eventually had to wipe it and install Ubentu... if you install fresh windows, install an empty copy, without all the Toshiba junk on it, that caused 90% of my issues
