Understand, as I just went through a similar circumstance. I had contacted a Bit Coin-related virus on my Mac Book Air via Google Chrome (did not have the issue on my Mac Mini, and I run all the same software). I used Sophos to remove it, but this past weekend, I had an issue with my Air. Fortunately, I had been making SuperDuper! backups/clones for both of my machines (do it every week, along with some other useful and important disk maintenance/repair tasks. What I eventually did was:
1. Boot from one of my SuperDuper! backups (last week's Air backup).
2. Used Disk Utility there to Erase, Format, and Partition the Air's 256 gig SSD.
3. Installed a fresh version of Yosemite.
4. Re-booted the Air from that installation, and upgraded Yosemite to the latest version, 10.10.3.
5. Used Migration Assistant to "migrate/copy" all my applications, files, folders, etc. (all non-OS related) from the Mac Mini backup I had just completed earlier.
5. Upgraded the version of Safari.
Things are now fine with my Mac Book Air.
I rarely get a virus on any of my machines (in fact, I can't remember the last time I got one). This Bit Coin-related one was strange, though, as 1) I have never done anything associated with Bit Coin, and 2) again, I did not have the issue with my Mac Mini.
In your case, if you don't have a good, clean backup, maybe someone could recommend an excellent virus removal tool.
