    Welcome to Windrivers Peach. I would recommend downloading Xcleaner, Ewido (trial) and updating it, Adaware and update it. Once this is done do not run them until you are in safe mode. Also make sure you turn off system restore before you go to safe mode, otherwise there is a possibility you could re-infect yourself.

    Yes its best to run spyware cleaning apps in Safe Mode w/System Restore OFF, thats because some malware use the protected windows restore files, and those cannot be cleaned unless in Safe Mode w/System Restore off.
