Random Number Exe's asking to make changes

[diseptikon]

Hello,

I installed malwarebytes and ran a scan and it found a few files that it removed. Upon rebooting the computer, after the windows 7 welcome screen all I see is a black screen with my mouse cursor. I ran windows in safe mode and ran malwarebytes again and it found one more file which it removed. Still however, when I booted up normally I receieved the black screen with the mouse cursor. I ran a system restore to the one and only point (feeble attempt I know) and am now apparently back where I started with windows booting up normally, and receiving the random numbered exes asking to make changes to my system.

Can someone please advise of the next steps since this seems to stray from the normal procedure listed in the "I'm infected - What do I do now"" thread.

Regards.
