I just put windows into my good laptop because I expect to need it to do my taxes next month. I thought that the windows editions of the open source programs like Libreoffice would be safe.

Guess again, they are full of toolbars that you have to decline and other junk. I thought that I had carefully declined everything until I booted up Firefox. The home page had been changed to the "Funmoods"search engine.
