    I would go to malwarebytes.org and download their free antimalware, do the updates, then scan and remove the red ones that show up.
    If it won't download because of the virus, download onto a CD on another machine and run on yours, may need to change boot order in bios.
    Windows Security Essentials actually works pretty good, down load, update, and scan.
    Delete Temporary Internet Files, Cookies.
    You may have to go to Tools, Internet options, Connections, LAN and be sure automatically detect settings, some worms set a Proxy to disable IE.
