Hey! Watch where you point that finger.  8-)

You are in need of the services of a "Malware Forum":

After you get things cleaned up, you need to do some Behavior Modification.
It's MUCH easier to *avoid* infections than to deal with them afterwards.

(#6 does not apply to the insecure DOS-based operating systems
that Micros~1 was producing in 1998/1999--i.e. Windows 98.)


Some tricks you need to learn:

1) Stop clicking on everything that pops up on your screen.
   Use the Esc key--not the mouse--to get rid of things that pop up on your screen.

2) For things that the Esc key doesn't clear, use Alt+F4
   (while holding down the Alt key, hit the F4 key) to close a window / end a process.

3) STOP USING INTERNET EXPLORER.
Install Firefox 
or Opera 
(both are FREE) and use THAT to surf the Net.
These modern Web browsers are less likely to ASSIST in infecting your computer.
