Try free downloads of Clamwin or SPYBOT S&D.  Clamwin updates their definitions once an hour and is a great tool.  A little slow sometimes, but completely free.

You can try and do the following:

1- Clean your Internet and Temporary files from your system. You can do it manually:

Go to "Start" -> "Run" and type in the box: "cleanmgr". Let it scan your system for files to remove. Make sure these 3 are checked and then press "Ok" to remove:

- Temporary Files
- Temporary Internet Files
- Recycle Bin

or you can also use CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/download/) which I like very much.

2- Scan your computer with free Anti-Spyware tools to detect and remove any adware/spyware. I usually use the following:

- Ad-Aware 2007 (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad_aware_free.php)
- Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.4  (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html)
- Windows Defender (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx#)

3- Scan for malware infection using free anti-virus/anti-trojan:

- Avast! 4 Home Edition (http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html)
- ClamWin Free Anivirus (http://www.clamwin.com/content/view/18/46/)
- BitDefender8 Free Edition (http://www.bitdefender.com/PRODUCT-14-en--BitDefender-8-Free-Edition.html)
- AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition (http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/)

4- Run McAfee AVERT Stinger. This will remove most common malware that are in the wild:

- McAfee AVERT Stinger (http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/)

5- Make sure to enable your Windows firewall and download and install the latest OS patches to your system.

6- Use Secunia PSI (https://psi.secunia.com/) to keep up with the latest patches for third-party applications.

6- You can also use HijackThis  (http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/hijackthis) and Runscanner (http://www.runscanner.net/download.aspx) to scan your system and see if this malware has been removed. If you would like, you can post your logs for me to review.

Hi,

Sometimes, AntiVirus softwares will be defeated, then you'll be in your own. I've written on my blog about analyzing and cleaning malwares on your own. check them out :

#1.  Ccleaner is the shit, I love that program.  You can even do a Guttman wipe on stuff with it, and that's just groovy.  When I can't be bothered to actually figure out WHAT is causing a problem with a work computer.. half the time i just run Ccleaner a couple times, in both file/registry cleanup and reboot.  80% of the time it fixes the shit, and I'm home free.  The other 20% of the time I'll actually have to figure out what was wrong. :P  None the less, it makes my life a whole lot easier.

#2.  I like hitting a virused up comp with AVG anti virus AND ClamAV.  I don't trust just one.  Also, scanning the machine's HD without booting into it, from an already hardened machine has been useful to me on more than one occation.  Ad-Aware is not bad, Spy bot isn't bad either.  TeaTimer on spybot is interesting... but I think I prefer the registry lock in Comodo firewall honestly... and it's a lot more user friendly from my experience. 

Since we're on the topic... has anyone used either:
GMER, or IceSword?
