Please stop using the term virus. It is specific implications on its abilities to spread.
You are infected with malware and highly probable it is ONLY of type trojan.

As for Malwarebytes' Anti Malware.

First...

Kill as many running programs as possible then...

Download the 'mbam-setup.exe' and rename it to something lik; xray.com
Then run; xray.com

Don't allow it to update or run.
Then go to; "C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware"

Find; "mbam.exe" and the COPY it to something like; xray.com and the run; xray.com .

Perform an update and then run a scan on your PC.
