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

CCleaner

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

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM)

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

SUPERAntiSpyware

SUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!
Microsoft Security Essentials

Microsoft Security Essentials **

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
