Default help for possible virus

good day to all,

last night, thursday, i started to get these pop up "warnings" from my
alleged anti virus/anti spyware, so i figured it was the phony pop ups that
wanted to me to click yes; i never did, but, anytime i tried to open my own
security programs, explorer, or any folder, it would open briefly, then
close & another pop up would surface.

i have a quick scan run every morning, using mse, i run a full scan w/ mse,
once every 1-2 weeks, i keep spyware blaster updated & run ccleaner often.

i could not log off last night, via start menu, so i shut it down from the
tower.

i started it this morning & same thing, so i restarted it, via safe mode &
restored to wed. when all was fine.

now, i ran the mse quick scan after logging in the safe mode, no threats
were found.

so, 1, do i just keep running in the restored mode, or do i try & find the
virus ?

thanks for any/all, ia
