Computer is infected by a virus or a malware, what do I do now?

When I attempt to navigate to a site using IE I am always redirected to a seemingly random internet site. When open security essentials it pops up briefly before disappearing. So im unable to run scans.

I've tried anti-malware (malwarebyte) and it has quarantined some items but same issue remains. What else can I try ?

Answer 1

You might want to try scanning with Windows defender offline. It's available on Windows Update

Answer 2

Just start your computer in safe mode, this way it won't shut down the process so that you can scan.
