So i was trying to install a cracked version of fraps,and it was possibly the stupidest thing i've ever done on the internet, go to youtube, dl a separate link from it and think i could actually get a working program.Needless to say i got a VERY bad virus installed. Every window i open is blinking at the top of my screen, very fast and very constantly, my mouse button says it's constantly working, and it seems like every time i try and type something it wants to deselect the text box. I also try to right click things to bring up secondary options like exiting a program i want to close or even go to bookmarks and it instantly closes the box. Anyone know what virus this is and how i can get rid of it!!!!!!!!!

2. Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
3. If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
4. Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan. The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
5. When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
