Okay so earlier today I went on a website and a pop-up came out, causing my computer to freeze. After it unfroze, my antivirus which is Microsoft Security Essentials told me a virus popped up, and I deleted it, cleaned it, but after a while another virus warning pop up. By then like every 10 to 20 minutes, more virus warnings popped up from my antivirus so I had to keep constantly cleaning them. And most of these were from the Java cache. However when I went to delete the cache from Java, the window that ask if I’m sure that I want to delete the files froze and my anti-virus uncontrollably kept on giving virus warnings like 3 to 7 threats found. I had to delete clean them all. The window ended up unfreezing and I deleted the cache but I still received a few more virus warnings. Afterword, I logged off, then logged back on but I when I logged back on I received another virus warning and removed that too. I did a scan with Malwarebytes but it didn’t seem to find anything.
I haven’t got any other virus warning since the last warning I received when I went to log back on and to type this so I’m not sure If it’s safe, I’m afraid another will pop up.
Also for some reason whenever I tried to scroll a web page using my mouse, a blinking cursor would show up next to pictures etc, I unchecked the “Always use cursor keys to navigate within pages” in tools in Firefox because that’s what I’m using as my browser and it solved the problem, but that only happened after the pop up appeared when I went on that website. Did that have something to do with the virus?
Answers are appreciated, thanks.

Keep your antivirus newest. http://download.cnet.com/Anvi-Smart-Defe…
It sounds like the virus warning was a popup that pretends to be a virus scanner in order to get you to download a virus. I’ve seen them before.
warning: do NOT go to the bleepingcomputer site or try those kill downloads and don’t download kapersky: DOING THAT GAVE ME 9 TROJANS YESTERDAY!!! Beware! There are people on here whose sole purpose is to give bogus links to infect our computers, just report them.
Try Kaspersky 2012. It’s very powerfull
http://www.wizdownloads.com/download/Windows/kaspersky-2012/
download AVG free USB virus scanner onto thumb drive and run it from there.
or http://free.avg.com/us-en/free-antivirus…
free.
Avast antivirus and it is free.
Firefox must be modified to counter-act the official Microsoft hack that installs Silverlight (and other garbage) without your informed consent.
Make these mods:
FIREFOX: Tools> Options> Privacy> top drop menu set to “Firefox will use custom settings…”> Check ‘Accept Cookies from sites’
►Un-Check ‘Accept 3rd Party cookies’.
►► At minimum, get the #1 item for malware prevention: NoScript, which constrains automagically fetching & deployment of potentially tainted assets.
[see this page for how it works, and how to use it…very straight forward; http://noscript.net/features#contentbloc…
A good collection of effective add-on’s (Official Mozilla) is here:https://addons.mozilla.org/collections/d…
AdBlock Plus (with ‘subscription’ added) & “Better Privacy” also help defray rubbish.
First, try Malwarebytes (www.malwarebytes.org), download and install the free version and then run a full scan. If you can’t download or install Malwarebytes (because of the virus) you should start your computer in Safe Mode, failing that, try something portable like SuperAntiSpyware (www.superantispyware.com), download the portable version and run a full scan. Once you’re done scanning, restart your computer (and you should be able to run Malwarebytes, which you should do).
After you’ve removed the virus (using the steps I described above) you should avoid downloading any illegal or unusual content, visiting any odd websites, or downloading any unusual or illegal software. This will help to prevent your computer from being infected again. I’d also suggest that you run Malwarebytes (and at least do a quick scan) every time you use your computer.
The malware is active, and needs to be shut down to be properly removed. Rkill will do that, read the description to see what it does:http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download…
After rkill has run successfully, update, and run a full scan with MBAM, and then MSE. Delete rkil after your done, you can’t update it, you will have to download it again for the latest version if you need it in the future.
