Multiple pop ups and lost start up screen

My computer has been infected by a virus/malware that has removed my start up screen and gives me several periodic pop ups. I tried a system restore but received an error stating that program (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\Acessories\SystemTools\CharacterMap.Ink) could not be removed or no longer exists. After googling this I found a post on here that seemed similar to my problem. I found a program listed called unhide in that post and that at least got my icons to reappear on my start up menu. I haven't turned my pc off since then..so who knows my icons may be gone again. Can someone help me please?

I don't know if this will help but I copied this from OTL in hopes it would help speed things up. netsvcs drivers32 %SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.* %systemroot%\Fonts\*.com %systemroot%\Fonts\*.dll %systemroot%\Fonts\*.ini %systemroot%\Fonts\*.ini2 %systemroot%\Fonts\*.exe %systemroot%\system32\spool\prtprocs\w32x86\*.* %systemroot%\REPAIR\*.bak1 %systemroot%\REPAIR\*.ini %systemroot%\system32\*.jpg %systemroot%\*.jpg %systemroot%\*.png %systemroot%\*.scr %systemroot%\*._sy %APPDATA%\Adobe\Update\*.* %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Favorites\*.* %APPDATA%\Microsoft\*.* %PROGRAMFILES%\*.* %APPDATA%\Update\*.* %systemroot%\*. /mp /s CREATERESTOREPOINT %systemroot%\System32\config\*.sav %PROGRAMFILES%\bak. /s %systemroot%\system32\bak. /s %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\*.lnk /x %systemroot%\system32\config\systemprofile\*.dat /x %systemroot%\*.config %systemroot%\system32\*.db %PROGRAMFILES%\Internet Explorer\*.dat %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\*.lnk /x %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\*.exe %PROGRAMFILES%\Common Files\*.* %systemroot%\*.src %systemroot%\install\*.* %systemroot%\system32\DLL\*.* %systemroot%\system32\HelpFiles\*.* %systemroot%\system32\rundll\*.* %systemroot%\winn32\*.* %systemroot%\Java\*.* %systemroot%\system32\test\*.* %systemroot%\system32\Rundll32\*.* %systemroot%\AppPatch\Custom\*.* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\Results\Install|LastSuccessTime /rs
