Hello Stephanie can you open your internet browser to get access to the net if you can then go and down load Rkill from....

https://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/rkill.exe

then download Malwarebytes from here.....

then up date it and then pretty please do a full scan it may take from 20minutes to 2 hours depends on how many files it has to find.

lets us know if if you can get to your internet browser
