Remember....

When scanning, turn off system restore first and then boot into safe mode to do it.

Otherwise they could all just come back again.

Turn system restore off:

To start in safe mode, press F8 when the machine is booting and select "Safe Mode" from the list

Personally i choose comodo over both AVG and avast now days, the free comodo internet security package offers free updates, regular scanning and real time scanning, as well as total granular control down to the finest details. Its the one i install everywhere now days. Makes the other free software look like toys. Anyway if you want to do something properly after you've faffed up i still think its a much better idea to run a bootable liveOS environment and sort it out from there. Just to make sure the infections aren't skwing results which they very easily can...

Another vote for MalwareBytes. It got me out of a pickle a few months back when my mother-in-laws PC got completely taken over. She lost all access and a new 'user' account was in complete control. After a lot of hacking to get back in as an admin it was Malware alone that finally cleaned the system.
