First of All,
 
  Turn off System Restore, delete all tempoarary internet files etc.  Some malware 
hide in the system files as ROOT kits. Get the Sysinternals "root kit  revealer" 
and "root kit remover" from microsoft site (free)  also try the M/S malicious software 
removal tool they have , it's also free. it will identify the name of the virus/malware.

   Most bad programs nowadays will disable Anti-Virus programs. try running your 
A/V in safe mode it may take take a bit longer but might help.

    Some of the Anti-Virus sites, symantec or McAffee have trojan /malware remove 
tools free to download but you need to know which  variant you have.
