What should i do?
Edit: i booted in safe mode and ran malwarebytes (thankfully i havent updated it in like a month, skipped the update), it found 3 infected files, restarted and booted normally and ransomeware seems gone. Id run a bunch of followup scans but my computer is so bogged down that full scans take nearly 8 hours and render the computer incapable of gaming and scanning simultaneously, though i can still browse the internet ok. Ill run it tonight though. Hopefully it doesn't come back until then.

I've been using AVG Business 2013 on my computer. It's caught a few Trojans on my system. MSE never even suspected Trojans...
I see why people advise against MSE. I recommend AVG.
If Malwarebytes fixed it...well...uninstall it anyway. Malwarebytes didn't work out for me. I like AVG better.
