Remove settings set by your "organization"

It looks like you are already running Windows 10.  If that's the case, you can just hit "skip" anytime it asks for a key during install, and eventually it will just recognize your hardware and activate.

So I have a very nasty virus on my computer and I'm trying to remove it. 

Currently I scanned it with malwarebytes and it cleared almost no viruses. But something has caught my attention:

in settings an "organization" has added exclusions to windows defender. 

 

How do you remove the settings managed by this "organization"?image.jpg And

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

Yes I know that this doesn't apply to malwarebytes but I'm going to try to use windows defender as it has removed "5 threats" after my malwarebytes full scan

Personally I would just reinstall at this point, but you might be able to try running safe mode and doing additional scans

I have done that in safe mode already, but I simply don't have the time to reinstall Windows at this point (or the resources) so I'm trying to fix it, or at least make it last until I can get a windows 10 key and iso.

 

I do have a windows 8 installation (dual boot) but its dual boot and maybe the virus has spread there too (2 different drives)

 

I already unplugged my hard drives and Internet as in safe mode, it has found a root kit....

Agreed, unless you have super important files on the drive that aren't backed up, format and reinstall if you have your key. Not worth the trouble.

You can make an ISO with any functioning PC and flash drive above 4GB or so. As for the key, you can try downloading Belarc adviser and running it, it should tell you the key.
