If you have the knowledge and the tool do it by yourself, otherwise take your pc to the specialist !

You can fix it by yourself, just use the tools such as antiviruses.

If you have good knowledge and background on viruses you can repair your computer by installing good antivirus like Kaspersky and make full scan to your computer then the antivirus will discover the viruses and delete it , but if you don't have required background then tou may ask a specialized person to repair your computer .
