Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Basically run some scanners, online virus scans from Kaspersky, Panda, TrendMicro; spyware scans with Malware-Bytes and SpyBot Search & Destroy.
If / when that fails to clean it, use the following "Shoot first, ask questions later" tactic: install the following linux distribution (Parted Magic - http://partedmagic.com/index.php) on a flash drive, boot from it and back up any documents/non-executable files you need and torch everything else on the drive with the built-in tools, including the partitions themselves then re-configure the partitions and reinstall windows (if you must, hehe).
N.B.: getting a bootable Parted Magic usb stick can be a bit tricky, but it's explained in detail on this page: http://partedmagic.com/documentation/116-creating-the-media.html (scroll down until you reach "Creating the Parted Magic LiveUSB:"). Also, just in case, use a "healthy" windows machine to create the bootable usb stick.
