LOL Okay, I just read JohnT’s post in the minirants thread followed by this one. April RI really hope your name isn’t Laura.
It’s definitely April 
Good. Thanks for letting me know.
Yes, even a probability. However, the virus can’t do any harm if it is just sitting in a backup file. It cannot infect you again unless you actually restore stuff from the backup, and, even if you do that, it is unlikely to infect you again just through restoring your personal data files. If you had to do a full restore of Windows from the backup, it probably would infect you again, but even then, you are probably better off having a computer with malware on it (that you can then attempt to clean off again) than one that is totally hosed.
I ended up removing it then having to do a system restore and all seems well. No weird randomly linked words or popups. I check my browser and no weird add ons. I think it was a success. Thank you so much everyone for your help.
