Solved Help with a friends W7 laptop browser got hijacked

I've done that but it still boots normally. I read by googling I should hold the F8 key before the windows logo screen appears but that just emits a LOUD shrill beeping noise so I had to power off which just restarted it normally.
 
Not holding but TAPPING.

Turn the computer off.
Wait one minute.
Restart.
Keep TAPPING F8 key.
 
I think you have to be more patient when OTL runs its fix.
As long as your computer clock runs let it be.
 
All processes killed

I know what you said about quoting but after I press the second Enter, am I supposed to hold it down till it stops or just press enter & reboot it?
