Lets try this and if you need help understanding this maybe you can ask someone.

press CTRL+ALT+DELETE
In the list of running programs*, locate the malware file

Select one of the detected files, then press either the End Task or the End Process button, depending on the version of Windows on your computer.
Do the same for all detected malware files in the list of running processes.
