Seem to have gotten these viruses:

Trojan.Ransom.VX
Trojan.CryptoWall
Trojan.AGENT.RDEED
Trojan.Bunitu
Trojan.Poweliks

I have no idea how I've gotten them, and please help me to remove them! One of them has seemed to have triggered on my camera and I've covered it up for the time being. Please help me remove them, I use Norton antivirus

Trojans are usually from downloading infected files

You should be able to just instruct your antibirus to scan and clean your entire system which will take quite a few hours

I like Malwarebytes. It has a free version that should hopefully take care of your problem. http://www.malwarebytes.org

I got a pop-up in Russian... Can someone translate for me?
I hope it doesn't hurt that I copied and pasted it from the Trojan.Ransom.VX file

If you install a new anti virus don't have 2 or more on your PC the one you are using will see the other one as a virus and try to get rid of your anti vitus

"THE COMPUTER IS LOCKED!
Your computer is locked for viewing, copying and printing

To unlock you need to pay a fine in the amount of
600000 NL. BR a WebMoney purse
B208016071489
payment can be made in any penalty payment terminal.
In case of payment amount equal or above the fine on fiscal
check the terminal will print the unlock code. You need to enter
in the box at the bottom of the window and press the "Enter" key. After removal of the
lock you must remove all materials which contain hello kitty items,
violence and paedophilia. If, in the course of 12:0 the fine is not paid, all data
on your personal computer will be permanently deleted, and the case
will be referred to the Court for trial under article 343 h 1 of the CRIMINAL CODE.
IN H AND M AND N AND E!
Restart or turn off your computer will result in immediate
Deletes all data, including the operating system and BIOS code,

These scams are ways amusing. Good luck Jonsa :)

If all else fails you can always try a full system restore. It will return your computer to factory settings and deletes everything but it will also remove 100% of the viruses. Maybe back up what you have then restore it. It's what i did the last time my computer was screwing up with me.
