So I got a virus on my computer while downloading a file and I feel really stupid but I need help to get rid of the virus without have to turn on the computer

Process Explorer

You're going to have to turn your computer on to fix it. I'd suggest booting into safe mode and running TDSSKiller and Malware Bytes Anti-Malware (MBAM). After installing MBAM you'll want to run a scan with it and remove any threats found. After that make sure to uninstall it as you don't really need the AV portion of it. After this you're probably good, I would personally check the system with Auto-Runs and Process Explorer, but that's likely outside of your skill set.
