The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
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.
