Was hoping that this was the simple Ask Hijack but looks like it could be a more serious one
Have a look at the removal guide here ... How to remove virus (Removal Guide) go through it step by step and it should hopefully clear everything
I will also move this thread to our security section as this may attract some members with better experience in this type of issue
