help Antivirus is on laptop

Coveredinbees!!!!

I just started my laptop and it's somehow got 'antivirus is' on it and it started popping up viruses left right and center. I managed to stop it running but how do I now remove it from my laptop. malwarebytes didn't find anything

Let us see the Malwarebytes log. It will be under 'Logs'. Open the text file for today's date and paste the contents here.

Save http://dl.surfright.nl/HitmanPro35.exe to desktop
Then Hold down the left CTRL-key when you start Hitman Pro and all non-essential processes will be terminated, including the malware process before the scan.

Could always do a search for a removal tool. Took all of 5 seconds to find one.

I probably won't use the link (2-spyware) given above. McAffee users have mixed opinion... 2-spyware.com | McAfee SiteAdvisor Software – Website Safety Ratings and Secure Search Lets see what malwarebytes finds for accessing the site...

Anyway:

Do what dogymarxx says. Then install malwarebytes:
Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.46 - FileHippo.com
go to UPDATE tab, CHECK FOR UPDATES, then a QUICK SCAN first... Post log here.

Download HijackThis 2.0.2 - FileHippo.com
Install and DO A SYSTEM SCAN AND SAVE LOGFILE. Post log here.

Try what dogmary suggested first.

Why would you have to download stuff if you say that you already have Malwarebytes? Where are the logs?

I already said malwarebytes found nothing, hitman pro found the problem and fixed it. thanks.

But then due to iggle piggle being on the TV I ran malwarebytes again and it found something so here is the log
