The following tools are my recommended method of fighting malware infestations. I install and run the following programs (in order) to remove most all of the malware infestations I encounter. As always, however, Google is your friend in finding how to remove malware.

CCleaner is the number-one tool for cleaning your Windows PC. It protects your privacy online and makes your computer faster and more secure. Easy to use and a small, fast download. | |
MBAM is considered to be the next step in the detection and removal of malware. MBAM can detect and remove malware that even the most well known anti-virus and anti-malware applications fail to detect. | |
SUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones! | |
Microsoft Security Essentials provides real-time protection for your home PC that guards against viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. | |
Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer Improve your security management process by using MBSA to detect common security misconfigurations and missing security updates on your computer systems. |
** NOTE that MSE is my personal favorite for antivirus / antimalware. Some ISPs offer FREE antivirus solutions as well. Check with your ISP before purchasing anything
