The FIRST thing to do is DISABLE System Restore.



If enabled, this allows malware to hide in the computer and re-install itself.



To disable it, RIGHT-click on "My Computer." Select "Properties" then under the 'System Restore' tab, check 'Turn off system restore' IF not already checked.



The next most helpful things that would help you are to use ONLINE scanners from websites to remove any malware on your PC.



The current best online scanners I prefer are from Kaspersky antivirus and Bitdefender antivirus. Together, these 2 scanners will find ALL the bad stuff on your PC because they have the BEST detection rate.
