Try this http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ used it before myself and it does work takes time but leave it and it will find allsorts, and it will remove anything it finds after the scan is done

Try either AVG Free or Avast Antivirus.

Get a good spyware blocker, Windows Defender is pretty good and integrates well with Windows Updates.
