Download lavasoft adaware, free edition. Install it, and download updates for it.

Then, download and install AVG free edition. Download updates for it.

Now, disconnect from the internet, then run both. Not at the same time though, but one after the other.

Download Avast! antivirus and do all the updates. From my experiences with the two it is better than AVG. Reboot into Safe Mode and do a scan/removal. Should take care of it.
