Also suggest that you use a different web browser, Antivir will hijack Internet Explorer...

also, before running malwarebytes and your macafee scan, disable system restore.

First off, don't panic. However spooky it looks, this particular 'nasty 'is not actually that nasty. All it's trying to get you to do is pay out some money for a 'cure' to a disease your PC doesn't have, and you're not going to, so that's that. It's not a real virus/trojan. They can do genuinely nasty things.

So, next thing is to get rid of the annoying popups. Malwarebytes is good, but it looks like Antivir is being clever enough to prevent you getting it. I would suggest that you try downloading spybot. If that doesn't get rid of it, and/or Antivir stops you downloading it, as HJ says, try downloading Firefox or Opera, then download Malwarebytes/Spybot.

But like I say, don't be spooked - this is a nuisance, not a pooter-killer.

+1 to Malware bytes

Also note - Avira Antivir is a genuine antivirus product, sounds like this rogueAV is spoofing the name aswell.

Also, as mentioned, clear the system restore, I wouldn't recommend to restore to it as the restore points are likely infected aswell.
