Mysterious virus or worm! I need help

[Teeks_Kay]

Hi. When i turn on my computer it loads but after a while a black screen pops up with the words "CHECKMATE" in pink. Then the computer freezes, all i see is my wallpaper. Nothing works. Funny thing is this only happens on my account (I'm the administrator). When i run a complete computer scan with AVG to scan on other accounts it reveals that there is no infection. Kinda stuck, please help!

Scanning with AVG won't do much against these kind of infections. Install Malwarebyte's Anti Malware and let that run a full scan.

Thanks. I'll try that. Will it require the internet to load? coz my home computer doesn't have internet

It requires an internet connection to update MBAM to the latest version. You might not be able to get all of the junk off without it.

run these tools in order if you have to reboot at any time in the process run rkill before moving on to the next step.
rkill to stop malware processes from running
Rougekiller is a nice lightweight scanner that is good at some of the tougher to remove rookits and viruses.
Hitman pro or malware bytes to verify your are virus free.

once you find the virus feel free to post the name giving to it by the scanner so we can give you more steps, some times system restore points need to be deleted to complete.
