Sounds like one those tedious plugins that gets bundled in with other software, usually containing some form of malware along with altering browser behaviour!
First things first look through the add remove programs screen in control panel and remove anything suspicious / relating to my search...

You'll have to download an ISO of the version of windows 8 you require, then either burn it to a disc or create a bootable usb drive, once in the installer you can delete the partitions and then create a new partition in the space, you can then fire off a clean install of windows.
I am not loving server 2012, not sure why the stuck with the start-menuless metro style design for a sodding server operating system, obviously they expect us to fit touchscreens to all the servers....idiotic!
Suggested deploying start8 as it works on server 2012 (been testing on a few of our...
It gives you "start button" but its not the same, it just launches metro! Its already there if you hover in the bottom left corner, they're just making it permanent!
Its worth the £3 I reckon, especially as all the right click menus for management and system properties etc are there, and the ability to shutdown without pissing about with the silly pop out menu is great!
The layout is pretty much exactly the same as Windows 7?! There's hardly any difference, other than the fact you can bring up a metro screen.
Like i've said in other posts, Start8 by stardock costs £3 and gives you a fully functioning windows 7 style start menu, then there really is no...
Apart from all the companies that have already deployed windows 8 enterprise into their company environments......
The whole point of metro is that it unifies devices, you can design an app for metro and it will run on a PC/Tablet/Phone/Anything that supports metro, its actually quite clever...
Have a Google, I'm sure there's a memtest for Mac if not a built in way of testing the RAM, sorry I don't work on macs as much as I do windows machines so I'm a bit vague!
My Firefox does this regularly, its the way it handles plugins like flash etc, CPU maxes out, there's a way to disable the plugin container which makes flash run within the Firefox process rather than as a separate one, seemed to make it a lot faster!
I use Start8 by stardock, $4.99 And gives you a fully functional windows 7 style start menu, tbh windows 8 is a lot quicker and has some fantastic features and with start8 its just as easy to use!
You'll have to download an ISO of whichever version of windows 8 your laptop has and create a bootable CD/USB, Rufus is a great tool for creating bootable USB drives, microsofts own USB tool is a joke!
Have a look at auctions on eBay too and specify new items, picked up a 180gb Intel 520 for £82 and they're about £160 retail, result! Samsung are good but the TLC isn't as reliable as the MLC in the Intel's, this is reflected in the 3 vs 5 year warranty! Heard good things about OCZ but...
I've seen many a Mac startup and fail to boot / Spinny wheel and its been the RAM at fault, same as with a windows PC if the rams at fault it can successfully boot windows and will randomly BSOD, depends if its the entire RAM module or just one of the chips!
Norton ghost is always good, it will resize on the fly too, im just guessing here but are you migrating from your 1tb to a 250gb SSD? I did this last week and to be honest it was b****cks and wasnt worth the faff, runs much better off a fresh install.
Depends what you're using to clone it! Some software will give you options to clone the entire drive or individual partitions! If you're just doing a straightforward clone it should create the partitions for you!
