hi, recently i have been downloading mods and extensions for lots of different apps. i think i might have downloaded a virus as lots of strange things have happened. first it disabled task manager then it blocked me from downloading Every antivirus now it is opening chrome on lots of different websites. I don't know what to do please help.

Well step one would be to either take it to a shop and have them clean it or reinstall Windows. Trying to walk you through cleanup would take a long time, possibly end up with you damaging the system which would require a reinstall anyways or not getting it cleaned up properly.

Step two would be to purchase a reliable EPP (end point protection) software such as
BitDefender
Webroot
ESET
Malware bytes Pro

I don't recommend a free solution because generally if it's free you're the product meaning they tend to syphon your personal data
