    Go to ninite.com, download Avira and Malware bytes and let both programs take care of it. You could also check if you can do a system restore to a date before you installed the virus. It greatly depends on what virus it exactly is whether this option would be successful.

  • You're going to get a lot of recommendations for different things, only follow one of those recommendations. Personally I'd say malwarebytes to start, but once you get malware you might as well back up what you can and just wipe the machine for ease of mind.

I'd use combofix before anything else but Andie2302's suggestions are good too. Note this won't work on windows 8 or 8.1 but anything below it will.

I've used a lot of different tools for this purpose and combofix has always done the best job imo.
