Suggest you try malware bytes, download>install>update definitions>scan, this can be done in safe mode with networking(tap F8 on bootup) Or sure fire way is to reformat your hard drive, either from disc or from Recovery partition, (tapping F3 or F11 on bootup). Question your Antivirus, or advise the tech support, so they can have a remedy if they don't already?

Answer 7

boot computer and tap the F8 key repeatedly then choose safemode with networking open browser and go to safety.live.com that is microsoft's online virus scanner run protection scan then run the cleanup scanner it's free...or use another computer go to Avira.com and download a rescue disk it's free then set your bios to boot from cd/dvd and run the antivirus before anything can boot...Pandasecurity.com offers one it's free
