To begin with, thank you for all the advice and assistance.

I tried the Malwarebytes but it turns out that this particular virus blocks access to sites like malwarebytes as well as my Norton and Symantec. You can ping the site but cannot access it via IE or Mozilla. I finally had to get a tech in and he's taken it to his shop where they can slave my system to one of their hard drives and remove the virus without needing Internet access. All in all it's a royal pain in the posterior. The only good news is that the tech says while the virus is aggravating all my financial information isn't in danger of being grabbed by the wrong person. So that's something anyway.

Thanks again to everyone.

Of course.

You download it onto a thumb drive on another computer, or email it to yourself from the local library computer if you can’t find a spare.
