Any bluemooners any good with laptops and getting rid of viruses?

Just watching videos on internet earlier on and I think I have now got a virus. Everytime I log on I get a warning screen come up saying that the laptop has been blocked by the police and I need to pay £100 to unblock it. A quick Google has led to me seeing that it is a virus but I have no idea how to get rid of it.

I downloaded malware bytes to a usb stick and loaded laptop into safe mode. I then installed malware bytes and did a full system scan. It showed up 18 viruses and I was told to restart the laptop to get rid of them. This hasn't worked though as im still getting the same message 'laptop blocked by police's

Anyone know what I can do to get rid of it, help will be much appreciated!!

A 'virus' eh?

if you got win7 its already on your pc.type defender into the search bottom left on your desktop

Will it work in safe mode though? Everytime I log in normally it wont let me do anything. Should I try to repair it by doing system restore to an earlier point in time?
