Fortunately I had CC Cleaner on the computer so I was able to bypass the screen using the task manager and clear the temporary files that kept bringing the malware screen up. Microsoft offers a free malware clearing program. You need to use it or find another malware removal program. The Microsoft malware removal program found two instances of malware and deleted them. No problem since then.
Two malware apps have failed to find anything. Would clearing the browser help?
