I have had an enormous amount of help from this site and would appreciate even more now please..
Virus protection is Microsoft Essentials. A Full scan exposed a problem and was deleted.
Since then I have been unable to visit any wanted web sites..
The cause has been interference. A small dialog screen presents a dialog box informing of a virus.
Next:: A full page screen "Windows 7 Repair" - headed with Microsoft Logos.
The only way to delete this is shut the computer down.
AlI wanted pages are smothered by the above screen heading including Google.
Suggestions please HOW this can be irradiated without a Windows 7 re-install please?
Hi Les
Try this programme
It is safe and it's free unless you want to buy the upgrade, which I did. Also led to believe that MS Essensials is not worth using so try some other anti-virus like Kaspersky. Hope you are well.

Another vote for https://www.malwarebytes.org/
Microsoft Security Essentials (Defender in 8.1/10) is fine for most users as long as Windows Updates are kept up to date with an occasional run of Malwarebytes
If you frequent potentially dodgy sites or are inclined to click on suspect software before thing you will need better virus/malware protection.
You may need to read up about starting your computer in Safe Mode, also how to use the Task Manager and MS Config to kill rogue processes and stop them starting up
