Check here:
Malware Cleaning :
http://kgiii.info/windows/all/malwarefix.html
Pay attention mostly to the safe mode part of the page which will make it
easier to cleaning out the mess. As for disabling system restore that's not
always the best thing to do. You might want to re-enable it so that you have
a place to fall back on should cleaning cause problems.
