I had the exact same last week. It is the WIN32:Renos 00 virus. I also had avast running when i got it. Stops you going to any other website etc..... total nightmare.
I got help from here :T
Basically put laptop into safe mode networking. Run Malawarebytes the hijack this then combo.fix
The only way i could do it EVEN in safe mode.....was download these programs onto a USB stick from another laptop or PC and then open it from there on my infected laptop.
Read my post......WIN32 Renos Virus.....and you shold get it all sorted out. :T:T:T0 -
Reboot and keep pressing F8 to get into SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING
Download and run FIX.EXE

Download a fresh copy of malwarebytes

Open malwarebytes and goto UPDATE and click 'check for updates'. After its updated goto SCANNER and click PERFORM FULL SCAN then click SCAN
Remove everything thats found (needs to be ticked)
Post the COMPLETE log here AFTER youve deleted everything it finds
reboot
Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD THIS VERSION')
