Ok so here's the breakdown...

  • I have never installed Wajam
  • I never wanted Wajam
  • I'm not sure what keeps installing it, my guess so far is there is a background process running that I don't know about that keeps installing Wajam
  • One clue might be is that sometimes out of the blue a command prompt window will popup and then dissapear almost instantly. I can't remember the title of the window. Also whenever Wajam is installed it opens a webpage that has to do with "FastandFreeDownloads"

Any ideas... I have had to go to Conrol Panel and uninstall Wajam so many times. It's really starting to become frustrating.

Ok so I ended up doing a full scan with MalwareBytes and it removed 216 threats! I overlooked them and saw a lot from Wajam, conduit, trojan, basically everything that likes to be a bug crawling through your computer. I believe the problem is fixed. So thanks a lot to you guys. It's been really bugging me ;) (please excuse my puns)
