    Restart computer->before the Windows logo appears, repeatedly press F8...from the list that appears choose Safe Mode with Networking.

    There might appear 2 users, one of them being called Administrator - select that user and when you're asked whether you want to continue using the PC in Safe Mode choose Yes.

    Run Malwarebytes, Update it and run a Quick Scan. You should be able to do that.

    If you cannot do it, enter Safe Mode without networking(F8 before Windows logo appears->Safe Mode)

    Download ComboFix, a free program, available at http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ download the "ieXplore.exe" one. It will get rid of the virus. If that Doesn't Work, get Rkill Also Available there, that will kill the process of the worm. then run ComboFix.

    Happy Hunting!
