Was downloading a vid codec and it had also installed some kinda mad antivirus software which now sits in my taskbar and tells me my comp is infected and i should click it to get anti viral software, its accessing my processor like mad and slowing my comp down, cant find it in add remove and cant right click the icon 
Netguard didnt notice it and neither does spywear...
HELP!!!!!!!

download spybot search and destroy
install it and check for updates
restart computer and push f8 until you get a black page come up with options
go into safe mode and run spybot it should find it in there
