I have already tried using Malwarebytes but it is not deleting the malware completely. I keep detecting malware each time I run the program. Is there any other program that works better or is there a different method I should try?

Thanks,
RV

Press OK when asked to close all programs and follow the onscreen prompts.
Press OK again to allow AdwCleaner to restart the computer and complete the removal process.

Yes, there is a virus present, that block all downloads. Do you have a USB Flash, so you can download the tools at the other PC, copy them, and run from infected machine, following instructions?
