Picked up a virus

[CaptFoster]

So I picked up a pain in the ass virus called "Search Protect" by Client Connect Ltd ... I was able to disable it from screwing with my browser, but I still cannot remove it completely from my hard drive.

I really don't want to go to a computer guy and spend $65 I cannot afford to spend ... but I don't like the idea of this virus still being on my computer despite being disabled. Which I get the feeling is the case, here's why -->

I have Malwarebytes on my computer already. A dialog pops up telling me the database is outdated. I know why obviously ... but when I click "Update Now" nothing happens. Hence by belief the virus is still a problem. I have Windows 8 ...

Any help out there?
