I first thought I had a virus when I was on the internet and clicked a link and it redirected me to some random site. So I ran "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware" and "SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition", they both said I had viruses. I removed all of them and restarted my PC. I was then notified by Microsoft Security Essentials that I had a "potential threat" on my computer. I selected remove, but it said I needed "Standalone System Sweeper" I clicked 'download now' and I was taken to a microsoft.com link telling me how to get "Windows Defender Offline Beta." (Notice that it's not the same program it said it was before). However, I still decided to download WDOB. I had to put it on a flash drive and boot the computer from the USB.
Upon restarting the computer from the flash drive, WDOB performed a scan for potential threats and found two items. I selected to remove them both, then continued with the restart of my computer and when I got to the desktop, MSE notified me again that I still had a virus. That's when I decided to post this.
Thanks for any help!!
EDIT: I remember some of the virus names: blacole and cleaman.g
