Yes, for sure you have a virus.
First think do not share files with any body. Also you new a technician who can eliminate your virus. It is very important to have installed an anti-virus and keep it updated.

go into Safe Mode and see if you can scan from there, also turn off System Restore your antivirus cannot scan those restore points and they just come back

It's not a virus, you have scam software. It's nothing more than a trojan.
Probably disabled your AV

Worth a try, but something like Combofix http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/comb...o-use-combofix
would be better.

Start from scratch mate. Your PC is a zombie.
Or you want me to try and get combofix to you?
