Nasty Problems i think down to a virus

aint really clued up on pcs but i'll try the best i can.

pc went nuts earlier today after i downloaded a mod for a game, it changed my desktop, and removed items such as my computer, windows explorer, desktop options from pc. if i try to change anything it says my access has been denied by the administrator. WHAAAA? im only person that uses PC.

i know have 3 shortcuts on desktop for antivirus software, and pop ups even when offline for antivirus software.

also my clock contantly displays the time followed by VIRUS ALERT!.. and if i have more than 1 tab at bottom of screen running, it randomly switches between them

i've managed to restart in safe mode and remove the application i downloaded before the problems, but still it remains bad.

any help anyone can give will be appreciated :)
