You need to update your anti -virus and run a scan If you have not got anti-virus program installed I would install one very fast I use AVG9 Free.
Also download Malwarebytes (malware/spyware program) from https://ccm.net/downloads/ and run a scan with this program.
It is said you should disable System Restore while seaching foe a virus as they tend to hide there. Enable system restore when finished scanning.
No system restore will not help the virus will stay in your system must run a scan
