First goto My Computer, right click on the drive, and goto properties, tools, error checking, and check all the boxes and run. If prompted to schedule disk check with restart, do so and reboot and make sure the check works.

First, run Combofix.

Get DrWeb CureIt to deal with any virus/malware and to detect rootkits.

If there are rootkits it cannot deal with, use GMER.

Spybot and MB have always seemed to work well for me. I fix a lot of friends, family and the odd client's computers. I guess I've been fortunate to not encounter a high end infection?

I'm looking forward to trying these out.
