So, obviously with this suspect behaviour, I tried to run rkill, but I got an error saying 'Installation failed.' and when rkill finally opens, it says 'Access is denied' and it doesn't do anything. Though when I change it to show hidden files, I can still access them and all my files are still present and working. In addition, most of my files/folders were hidden. But, the next time I turned my laptop on, I got a couple of error messages saying the Catalyst Control Centre had crashed, and my desktop background had not appeared. I then ran MalwareBytes and that detected 5 objects and removed them. The other day my AntiVir detected something dodgy and so I denied it access and removed it.

If your browser will not launch, you will need to use another clean PC to get rkill files and transfer it to the infected system. To assist your anti-malware in cleaning the system, you should download rkill files.

If you’ve rebooted the computer, the fraud tool will continue to block the malware scanners and will display the alert as balloon notification using its icon.

Once the system is infected, any applications or scanner that you launch or execute will fail to run.
