How do i get rid of a virus that i think is in my system files?

When I connect online I get these popups, which i shouldnt get because my pop up blocker is on high (allows no popups). These popups vary from ‘online virus scanner’ sites to blank pages. Most of them I can just close tho some try to force me to download a file but my security settings stop these. Its the blank pages that are the worst because they totally freeze my screen. I cant do anything on any of the web pages I have up and I end up pressing ‘alt, ctrl, del’ and restarting my pc. My anti virus and anti spyware progs show nothing when i scan my c drive and my firewall doesnt show anything wrong either. help!!

This is the ‘address’ of one of the ‘online virus scanner’ sites that keeps popping up. It looks very suspicious, esp the ‘securityworm5′ bit.

You have malware installed on your system. If you follow all the following steps it should get rid of your problem and prevent future problems. All programs listed are free.

———————————————————
Update your antivirus and run a full scan in safe mode

If you do not have full time (active) virus protection install (only one) all are excellent:

Install Windows Defender (full time spyware protection)
Perform a full scan.

Install the following five programs and run weekly or at least monthly. You need all five. They will greatly increase your protection. They are not a substitute for full time spyware and virus protection.

CCleaner: Do not install toolbar option

————————————————————-
Note if a scan detects a problem but is unable to remove, start the computer in safe mode with the internet line disconnected and run a full scan.

In severe cases your system restore files will also be infected. In these cases you will need to turn off system restore to prevent malware hiding in the system restore files and reinfecting the computer during removal or during a future system restore. Turning off system restore deletes the system restore files.

Right click on “my computer”> Properties > System Restore Tab > Check box turn off system restore

After the malware is removed turn on system restore.
