You need a firewall, an anti virus, and several anti spyware programs.
Run your anti virus and anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.
Its easier to prevent malware getting on to your sytem in the first place rather than trying to remove it. All the following programs are free for home use;
You need to install one firewall.The Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out.

You need to install one anti virus, you have Norton.

You need all these anti spyware programs;
