its not unlikely that the img2brick you downloaded could have been a virus/adware. have you ran it?

i have used it but it didnt really work

they seem to be happening less? i dont know why they would even show up in the first place if they were just gonna stop.

Run and clear the adware with AdwCleaner.

but the thing is isnt adware supposed to be more frequent, less avoidable and more annoying? or did i just get like baby made of diapers adware

Spybot S&D is what I'd recommend as a solution to adware.
that thing takes years to start up and scan from what I've seen of it. It is good though, yeah. More for use as an IT tool on a zed computer though.
IMO, it's faster to use a bunch of cleaning software instead. This site in particular is a great place to go for looking for malware removal tools and security-related news. The things I've linked before that usually fix most common adware and basic malware problems as well. A few objects I would not recommend using that are listed on that site, however, are Combofix, and self diagnosis assistants such as Hijackthis because they require more advanced levels of knowledge(especially Combofix, which is meant for IT professionals only because it can and probably will beat the everloving stuff out of your computer if you use it without knowledge of what you're doing).

You have adware.

adwcleaner wants me to delete something thats a bunch of letters im assuming this is adware?

probably
if you have malwarebytes, I would run it if I were you
it'll probably say it's detected Spigot.A or something
in most cases with unidentified adware it'll label it as Spigot.A

top kek the adware was designed for google chrome and internet explorer no wonder it sucked

i think im in the clear for now? i'll keep checking for a while
