First, run an online virus scan.
 An online scanner is available at: 
    Trend Micro or 
    Panda or
    McAfee or
    Symantec

  
Disable System Restore before scanning.





Then, use the correct tools to clean up the spyware/adware/malware:

Download, install, UPDATE, and run:
    Ad-Aware 6.0
    Spybot Search & Destroy 
    SpywareGuard
    Spyware Blaster
(Make sure to use the update feature of these programs often.)

 
Download UPDATE and run:
    CWShredder


It is important to run ALL of these programs, as each do something different.
    

Before running these, do the following:

Delete temp internet files and history.


Disable system Restore.
