Update your anti-virus, remember to only have one anti-virus installed on your PC



Update your anti-spyware software.

and

Restart your PC in safe mode, and run a full scan with both.

While in safe mode, you may also want to have a look at your start up items by using msconfig.

Be careful with the items you uncheck, you can have a look here to see if they are necessary

You should also have a look at your IE Add-ons while in safe mode.

Disable any you do not use.



After you reboot back to normal mode, download and install ccleaner to fix any registry problems and clean up old temp files.
