    try this

    1. When the PC starts you will see a menu for two seconds. Press the UP or DOWN arrow and this will pause the menu and allow you to choose an option.
    2. Highlight The TechGuys Recovery and press the Enter key.
    3. This will load into the recovery program.
    4. Select Reinstall Windows by clicking on the circle to the left.
    5. Click the right arrow.
    6. Put a tick in the box next to Start Full Destructive Recovery.
    7. Click the right arrow to start Recovery.
    8. When Recovery has completed, click the right arrow to restart the system.
    9. Your computer will then return you to its initial out-of-box experience.

    Hi. Sounds like you will need to make a bootable usb drive and reinstall from that or a bootable external hard drive with xp or 7 whichever you prefer. Google boot windows from usb. i have done it lots of times its not so bad

    Try and Install MALWAREBYTES and run a deep scan

    If your Advent lets you install it, you may be in luck and able to get rid of dodgy scripts running on your computer.

    Once done Try system sretore again
