2 days ago I encountered a virus that I have been unable to beat without a system wipe. As of yet I have not discovered how this virus was contracted. I believe it must have come from an advertisement or perhaps paird with a JAVA file in an email.
Indicators include
-Attempts to download unknown files to your system
-Created files just as PDFs are corrupted and could contain the transfer method.
-Outlook 365 will not send out attachments, and will repeatedly give you a message that something you are seding exceeds the maximum
-Complete system crash with no error report
-Blue screen crash.
This is a link to the microsoft support information about this virus.

MSE claims that it can remove it but it cannot. It is back every time the system reboots.
WD offline claims it can remove it, but it cannot even detect it.
Malware bytes cannot detect it, but will remove associated trojans that get downloaded by it.
I cannot find any online resources that have successfully removed this virus.
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED
