Turn off System Restore to prevent re-infection from infected restore points.

To get to the System Restore menu:
Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System restore
Reboot in safe mode with networking.

To get into Safe Mode with Networking: <--Extremely Important!
1. Turn off system restore
2. Log out and reboot your machine.
3. When the machine starts the reboot sequence, press the F8 key repeatedly.
4. Select Safe Mode with Networking from the resulting menu.

Download Malwarebytes AntiMalware

Install and run full scan.
