Hi Sherri,

You will have to do more virus/malware scanning. Here are some
suggestions to follow.
Virus and Spyware removal and prevention.

Be sure to unplug your modem also. Some malware dialers may call out
anytime and sometimes run up thousands of dollars of phone bills.

And they turn off the speaker/monitor so you don't hear
