On IE go to tools/internet options/general/browsing history/ click on delete. Now cookies aren't a virus so if your virus scanning software says it finds a virus it usually tells you what to do to get rid of it. I either delete them or put them in the vault. Write the virus down and you can do a search for it and see if it's still there. If so then click on it and delete it and make sure you empty your recycle bin.
AVG is very good and it's free.

Then use such issues as Malwarebytes, AVG and great anti secret agent ware. And ultimately if this works shoot the combofix guy some 'lifeless Presidents' it truly is going to be nicely worth it. wish this facilitates....

If antivirus and spyware remover software does not work, you can try to restore the computer to an older working configuration. Detailed instructions are posted at http://fixit.in/systemrestore.html
