Don't ask ME why people are giving Ugmonito Pihiioe a thumbs down!! I'd have given you exactly the same link at Bleeping Computer. Their advice is good; the sites they give links for are safe. You can prove the sites are safe by checking what these sites say about them:

http://mywot.com

http://siteadvisor.com/



If you can't reach any of the sites Ugmonito Pihiioe gave you, use another computer and transfer the files you need using a flash drive or similar.



If you can't get rid of it, go back to Bleeping Computer, go through this set of instructions and you'll be able to get personalised help:

EDIT:

The instructions the second person gave you *might* work but Bleeping Computer say to run rkill before Malwarebytes and I don't think using Safe Mode will make it unnecessary to use rkill. Some of these things being written now are pretty persistent and tricky.

1. Disable proxy server, clean up hosts file and clean up dns settings. Here is a guide : http://www.2-viruses.com/how-to-fix-google-results-hijacker-google-redirect-virus-problem . This will allow you to connect to internet.

2. To stop AV Security suite processes, press ctrl+shift+esc and stop all processes with garbage names that are launched from your user account.

3. Then you can either download malwarebytes/spyware doctor or search on disk for these files and delete them.
