Close your browser, and your other application programs. Bring up McAfee. Make sure you run option to do an Update of definitions.
Then run a Full scan of your pc's hard drives. Write down what it finds. Let it clean or quarantine/delete what it can.
If a virus is found, and not removable, post back with the name & information.

Clean the virus(es) first. If Mcafee does not do the job, see PA Bear's notes on Sysclean from TrednMicro.
