    Have you tried a System Restore in Safe Mode?

    I assume you've run your anti-virus and malware detectors like Malwarebytes.

    Welcome
    What you must do is a factory restoration, any other method may allow the Virus to remain on your system. The virus may even be in your personal stuff, in which event the virus would not be removed at all.
    Give us the make and model your your computer and I or another member of your Forum will be very happy to offer further assistance.

    Hope this works.
    Turn on the computer and then keep hitting f9 quickly and repeatedly, you should get a full restoration, but you will lose your stuff.
