Skynet virus problem

Hello,

I downloaded a plug-in video yesterday and now I have several error messages informing me that there are attempts at infiltration and an automatic external windows explorer window opens and connects to an anti-virus. since last night 5 minutes after each boot my pc I received a message posted by avast saying that I have infected files:

WINDOWS \ system32 \ Drivers \ SKYNET mxddfgmi.sys type Roolkit: cookies
WINDOWS \ system32 \ SKYNET mxddfgmi.sys type hidden services


I searched (in windows/system32) to find these files, the problem is that I do not want the risk of erasing, as this may be true are system files.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
thank you for your answers

Try ComboFix. Combofix is a freeware and designed to scan a computer for malware, spyware (SurfSideKick, QooLogic, and Look2Me as well as any other combination of the mentioned spyware applications) and remove them. ComboFix allows the manual removal of spyware infections .

• Download ComboFix (by sUBs) on your desktop.
• Double-click on ComboFix.exe to run it.
• It will ask you to install the Recovery Console: agrees.
• Do not touch anything during the scan.
• When the search is completed a report will appear.

I uninstall Avira and I passed through this:
  • I installed SmitFraudFix and AVG update, I restarted in Safe mode.
  • started AVG. The log am.
  • I rebooted in normal mode and then started CCleaner.
  • Rolled Bitdefender.
  • 2 of 4 found the virus could not be removed or quarantined. so i delete its directory. I also deleted the ISO of windows containing the second virus.
  • . Rolled Hijackthis.
