    I always take the same steps when I have a virus or malware of ANY kind.

    First I run rkill (get it from bleepingcomputer.com) because it stops the virus or malware from running. This program should be ran before running any anti-virus software or malware removal software (you can run it just once if you are doing the scans back to back).

    Next run tdsskiller (get it from bleepingcomptuer.com).

    Next you run malwarebytes (get it from malwarebytes.com) choose the free version and when you install it make sure you alwasy decline free offers (do this with all programs you download) and when it wants you to accept the free trial offer for PLUS say no.

    Last you'll want to run your own anti-virus software.

    If this doesn't work - all of the previously mentioned software will give you a list of what you are infected with - google it. Or better yet - go to bleepingcomputer.com and click on the virus tab. It will have a list of all the recent attacks and how to get rid of them.
