A computer virus?

Okay, when I went on Youtube, Java updated automatically and something called 'Quick Defrag' appeared.
A System Errors also appeared at the same time so I decided to restart into Safe Mode.
Here I ran Malware bytes and it detected two infected files in which I proceeded to quarantine and remove.
However, when I went back on, the same thing happened, a System Errors popped up (obviously fake, declared that I had missing Hard Drives and RAM) again and 'Quick Defrag' reappeared.
Does anyone know what I can do to remove this horrible thing?
Note: The whole thing only appears if I click the triangle yellow button with an exclamation mark right next to other things like Volume, MSN, and Skype.
How do I remove that button?

To add, reformatting should be your last resort (unless you don't mind).
