i think i had malwarebytes before because it says my trial is finished. its still running a scan, so i will see what it says. what if i download hitman pro and try that?

The interpol virus has been in the wild for a while now, a tool like Malwarebyte is well capable of cleaning it out. If it's peace of mind your after then do a System restore if you've got it set up as I'm just a guy on an escort site
I'll bow to Rockers recommendations though as he's had experience removing it.

pretty pissed with kaspersky. paid the fee to get it and it cant even stop one of the most infamous viruses on the web. surely they have heard of it

ive three scans now running: the kaspersky full scan; the microsoft windows malicious software scan and the finished trial version of malwarebytes.
i will have to leave the computer on all night it seems to finish the scans. i will intall/run a spybot in the morning and delete the browser
edit: and restore

If your suggested method works, its more straightforward than the one I found and well worth trying first.

There are two types of this problem ,first one is actually fake as it's just a dodgy site you are sent too and can't leave .go into task manager and try to kill your explorer that's open .then just restart everything hopefully works away normally , I would then run malwarebytes just go be safe but you shouldn't have any issues.
the second type is the virus and others here have said how to clear .
main point don't panic if you see it it maybe the dodgy website type
