i was on the league of legends forums, saw a picture link claiming this guy had world's first whatever, stupid me clicked it and then out of nowhere, this virus malware called antivirus 8 got installed
and now i need help on getting rid of it. i'm running windows 7 and it won't let me get on IE to download malwarebytes or any other program to uninstall.

Use a pen drive? burn a CD? lots of ways
I agree with cpinney on the solution though. Also you should try running a scan antivir or avg when this "antivirus 8" is cleaned. Idk what it is but it could be a backdoor client happily inviting others to the party.
