Then you're gonna want to look up how to create a Kaspersky rescue disk, not sure if Malwarebytes also supports it. It's essentially a USB thumb drive with an OS and antivirus or Anti-Malware executables that will update their database and scan your computer.

That's highly suspicious and backs up the malware theory imo.  Anything stopping you from installing malwarebytes - a program that gets rid of malware - is obviously up to no good.

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Do you have another computer or a way to download a bootable media?  You'll want to get one to scan & clean and/or reinstall your main system.
