You could potentially partition your hard drive and install linux on your computer and scan it from there if an antivirus works on linux because of the fact that the virus is a windows os virus and wouldn't be able to run on linux

Or the solution i did after i couldn't scan/even start up my computer was:
Take out your hard drive from your computer
Attach it to a usb converter so it can be used as an external hard drive and then attach the external hard drive (your internal hard drive using the converter) to another computer and scan it from there but make sure you don't open/explore/do anything to the external hard drive when it is attached except scan it or the virus could spread (the virus could spread anyways so its a risk but this doesn't seem very serious DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK) BTW have you tried antivira? I used that and spybot

You might also want to just quarantine the virus and not delete it because of the chance of it coming back. Some antiviruses doesn't fully delete a virus and it just reinstalls itself and blah blah blah O.o

How are you on the internet shouldn't your computer be dead if its at 100%?
