If it were me I'd want to reinstall windows, being sure to do a clean installation, or you may end up with the same problem you had with your previous computer. And you DON'T want to log into any of your accounts until this is resolved, though it's possible they're already compromised.

Reinstalling the operating system is the only foolproof way to remove malware/viruses. Some of them cannot be removed fron an infected computer, as they replicate when you reboot.

Good luck.

I called Best Buy Geek Squad security where I bought PC. They provided 1 year help included with PC purchase.
They worked on it remotely with me for over two hours, and cleared all viruses. 
PC works fine again.
