"System message - write fault error"

[Riccio]

Ok, so it wasnt very difficult to tell that when I recieved a million pop-ups for this so called "Error" that I had a virus on my hands. There was also a "Restore File" program that popped up along with it all. Seemed alittle suspicious that I had to register for it, so I backed off. My backround for my desktop is hidden, and programs on my Start menu are hidden (Until I click All Programs, they will show up). It also hid my internet explorer, but luckily I found a saved webpage from the internet. So I used the saved webpage to get on the internet. I downloaded Malwarebytes through the recommendation of a friend and I ran a scan. I also took a look on the subject on google and found this was a common problem. Unfortunatley I had it run a full scan for both C and D drives, and it was 3 hours in (Still scanning C) that I aborted the scan. I recieved the results and deleted the infected. When I restarted my computer, the pop-up messages have ended. I right clicked the "Restore File" program and got it's actual name and manually ended the process through task manager. The only problem now, is that my things are still hidden and I'm not sure I completely got rid of this virus. I also don't know what damage it's done or if my computer is compromised. I need help please.
