Get a good anti-virus.
Nod32 is good, and you can get a free months trial off the eset website...

Another great piece of very strong anti virus/malware software is called combofix. Free as well, get it from various sites but the one I use is "bleeping computer". Saved me a format and reinstall a few times.

turn off system restore,start up in safe mode,delete temp files, run spybot (already updated) remove anything it finds, run ccleaner, run spybot again to be sure, turn on system restore if spybot finds nothing, create restore point , restart in normal working mode

OR
