Warning message for malicious file won’t go away

There is a pop-up warning message, stating “”IntialSkilld” will damage your computer” and then it’s the regular “ok” and “show in finder”. when i click either option, nothing happens, and it just pops up again. when i click the ? icon it takes me to a window stating that the file may have already been deleted, (which it has) but the pop-up still won’t go away. it’s not letting me connect to online services (like google and safari) and for some reason it won’t let me look at my apple ID, so i can’t enter my serial number (which is required to contact apple support). I need to do schoolwork on monday and i have no other option but my computer. help!!!

These two applications from TRUSTED Developers can be downloaded and installed. Use only one. Launch the Application ( Both Free ) and it will identify the Malware and offer to remove it. You the User Must give the Application the OK to do so when it asks.
