only 3 possibilities that I can see.

- Dodgy copy of windows with adware installed (don't really know if that's a thing)

- You have installed installed something containing adware

- Russian hackers

Id probably just reinstall windows again, being mindful of the drivers and programs I installed last time, as one of them probably did the damage.

Malwarebytes Anti malware tool with immediate effect. Full scan. Sounds like you didn't install all updates before browsing your dodgy sites.

Get rid of Norton, usually causes more problems than it solves. Get into Safe Mode, scan with Malwarebytes and let it do it's thing. Consider downloading something like Avast or AVG too.

Failing the above, Windows Recovery back to a point that was okay or reinstall Windows after wiping the drive(s)...
