    Yeah, I'd back up your important stuff to an external drive and do a clean install of windows, or better yet use Linux or buy a mac then you won't have to deal with it again. I haven't used windows in 5 years, so many less headaches.

    The easiest and most effective way would be to download this free program called Lavasoft Ad-ware, it is one of the #1 programs out there that are free that will get rid of all viruses for the most part.

    If that isn't an option, then download "Highjack This" open it up and search manually what to delete, this one is a bit more complex if you don't know what you are doing however and you can end up screwing up your whole system pretty fast.

    So like I said above, your best bet is to download the free software I stated above, it's fast and effective.

    I would also advise you to use a program called Avg free. It is free and does an excellent job along side Lavasoft adware.

    Here is the link to avg free:

    I highly recommend using both programs, it will find viruses in hidden files and fix many problems.
