Bobbo, run a one time ESET online scan just to make sure (https://www.eset.com/us/home/online-scanner/). If the scan will not run it will tell you if they got some hooks into you. Check the box for removing unwanted programs too. Next time one of those things pop up, shut off your power before you do anything. That won't hurt Windows 10 at all and gives their program less time to operate before booting back up. Do not literally pull the plug though, that might cause some unwanted surges.
