Antivirus plus virus, I cant get rid of it

Can someone please tell me how to get rid of this virus? I have tried Malware bytes. It found the virus but cannot get rid of it. Avast never caught it. I noticed when I got pop ups stating that I had a virus and I needed to purchase an upgrade to get rid of it. There is no way to remove all of this though.

My scans on malware gave me these results:
Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware 1.39
Database version: 2477
Windows 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2

Every time my computer restarts from malware bytes the virus pops up again. What can I do?

well… no item in the list seem to be a main binary (it’s only some garbage - links, menu entries)… some verified removal steps could be available at bleepingcomputer.com :wink:

thanks very much

Your MBAM is well outdated. I would update it and try another scan
