I've reported the website to Microsoft (advertising-support.com) as its sometimes spams malware and sends you pop up sites as the form of Microsoft saying to update your IE.

First you just need to get your computer into safe mode with networking. Here is the guide: Restart your computer and keep pressing F8 key before Windows launches. Use the arrow keys to select the "Safe Mode with Networking" option, and then hit ENTER key to continue.

Then find the path where virus hides and clean all of them

possibly corrupted files: %Windir%\system\winlogon.exe

%Windir%\system\lsass.exe

possibly corrupted registries: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run “%Windir%\system\winlogon.exe”

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run “%Windir%\system\lsass.exe”

Be careful when dealing with system files or entries for any mistake will lead to irreparable damages to your PC. If you're not computer literate, it's advisable to contact a computer experts or ask help from one friend who has dealt with similar cases before.
