So whats been happening is weird. My desktop computer keeps randomly shutting off and its not set to do that. My computer is going a bit slower than normal. And sometimes when I play roblox games it opens up this weird page that says like Do you want to answer a contest for like a new car?

You got an adware virus, easy to remove.
Google Malwarebytes, download it and scan for viruses.
It's 100% safe and virus free and does an extremely good job at removing malware/adware/etc.

Another suggested item would be Kaspersky but it isn't free.
Stay away from AVG/Norton/MCafee those are garbage.

Just do as I said in last post and you'll be fine.
All you do is download, install, and press scan and tada.
After that restart your PC and everything should be fixed.

No, windows 10 is just an Operating System.
Adblock won't help for what you have as it's apparently spreading causing your PC to slow down.
Use Malwarebytes to remove the adware.

There's no reason not to trust it, just about 90% of the internet uses it and trusts it.
However, if you don't deal with it or tell your father, it will only get worse.

Well explain to him you had nothing to do with it.
It must've been one of the other family members as you only go on ROBLOX right?

Noobhunter it's not just on google, it runs in the background proccesses of his PC which causes it to slow down alot.
