Good, then my Task Manager suggestion will work. To access hold Control/Alt then only tap on the Delete key, don't hold it or you'll get a restart. Don't wait for Windows to finish loading. I don't know what processes to tell you to shut down as shutting down some will make you have to restart. The name of the piece of malware as a process will possibly look different than real ones ( mixed caps and lower case in the name ). They change it often so it's hard to track down. You only have a few seconds to find and stop it before it launches so this may take a few tries but it does work. If this does kill the malware then do not restart until you get rid of the junk by using earlier suggested programs.
Combofix can do the job but I only recommend it as a last resort as it changes settings you'll spend a good while getting back.

The process name will be random and also may contain letters and numbers. Shutting down just the ones that look like that should do it. It may even get by you and load the first time. Try again. Just be quick to end process as soon as you see it.

I've downloaded Malwarebytes Free to a USB drive, put the USB drive into my machine, rebooted in Safe Mode. Running Malwarebytes now. I'll get back to ya.
Thank you every one for your help and support.

CNTRL SHFT ESC will get you the task-bar without having to time it or leave the desktop (although, not sure about with this virus)..
