They might shut down the thread because it's not related to the forum. In the meanwhile, I can give you a little advise.

1. Start your computer in Safe mode with Networking
See: http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml

2. Try to update each one of your security programs from safe mode and run a scan.

3. Uninstall all your antivirus and security software (too much slows it down) and download these two programs; install them both and scan.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.46

Microsoft Security Essentials

4. If that doesn't help, backup all your files and see if your computer has a option to do a factory restore.
