Have run a virus scan & no mention is made of this intrusion. All is clean says the scan. I have to run Ctrl Alt Del or shut down the computer to be able to continue. What's going on?

Recently, I was locked by the same message. Webroot did not find anything as well. However, I tried looking manually and what I managed to find was some malicious extensions added to my web browser behind my back. Most probably, I installed them together with drivers or smth like that.
I believe that the internet is full of such "legal" apps that can initiate malicious activities. A quick research says that it could be so called adware.
