The virus popped up again so I did some more digging. Recalled Rkill so I did the download from Bleeping Computer. When I clicked on the Malwarebytes icon it would not execute the program. I remember there was a part of the virus that looked at the file name, so I changed it to something else and then ran the program.

Much to my surprise, 4 malware instances were found plus two instances of Trojan virus.

So I think all my problems have been solved.

My concern is how did these get in in the first place. I thought Webroot should have caught them. My bad.
