Hello, I'm back again with another extremely difficult problem :(
I caught this new virus from browsing the web. Whenever I try and google something and click a link, it'll take me to these random places like Yellowbook and other weird search engines.
When I tried to identify it with AVG, it says that it's called Exploit Rogue 1006.
I tried scanning my computer with both AVG and MALWAREBYTES (My brother installed those for me. He told me this is the best free anit-virus things I could get), but I got nothing.
At first, it was just redirecting me to different websites and I was too lazy to do anything about it. But now I'm getting this "DCOM Server Processor Launcher Terminated" thing which shuts down my computer in a minute at random times. So I thought I should stop being lazy and seek expert advice. Computer Hope hasn't failed me yet so I thought I would come back.
I tried looking up how to fix it online but there weren't any good results and it looks recent because the post dates were just about a week ago or a few days.
I'm not really computer smart (Or smart in general ^^;) so if you need me to give you some type of information on my computer, than just let me know.
Thank you for your help.

Okay... I ran into a problem at Step 5 but I did everything before it.

-I'm stuck here at Step 5: Update your java.
I checked and it said I should update my java but when I downloaded it, it would freeze when it starts downloading. The only way I could exit was to use CTRL+ALT+DELETE. Could this malware be related to Java? Anyways, I won't progress further until a professional tells me what to do. Thank you for your help.

I recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no realtime protection so will not interfere with each other. They do not use any significant amount of resources (except a little disk space) until you run a scan.
I suggest using WOT - Web of Trust (http://www.mywot.com/). WOT is a free Internet security addon for your browser. It will keep you safe from online scams, identity theft, spyware, spam, viruses and unreliable shopping sites. WOT warns you before you interact with a risky website. It's easy and it's free.
