Hi all,
Thought I would put this together as it helped me so it might just help you's.
Please note I take no responsibility if things go wrong.Install the following except Combofix as you will need to read up on Combofix first as it is a very powerfull piece of kit.
Miscellaneous software is optional.
When installing the software make sure to read the installation as sometimes they want you to also install google chrome and certain searching tools, just un-tick the option and continue installtion.
Once all installed
UPDATE all of them with the latest versions....Very important.
Once all updated you can go into options of all the software's and change the configuration, I.e Stop auto updates and start up on windows start up as I try and stop any programs running in the background on my p.c 24/7
Step 1:
Back up your p.c if you are unsure, I don't myself as I have done the following so many times.
Step 2: Turn system restore off because if you have trojans/virus’s they will simply restore themselves after you have done all this:

www.computerhope.com/issues/chsafe.htmStep 4: Once in safe mode open Ccleaner and run Cleaner & Registry.
Step 5: Run Malwarebytes and perform full scan, if it finds anything and asks you to remove things it finds do so, it may ask you to reboot, do so if it asks and make sure you go back into safe mode after re-boot.
Step 6: Run Ccleaner again.
Step 7: Run Superantispyware & Microsoft Security Essentials the same way as steps 5 & 6.
Step 8: Go back into windows normal mode and run Ccleaner once more.
Step 9: Turn system restore back on.
Step 10: You should be trojan/virus free and your p.c should be running faster.
Info: You may have to repeat the above steps again as sometimes they can fail to pick up some sneaky trojans.Info: For the most in depth check would be to use Combofix
BUT you must read up on it first as it has it's good and bad sides for some, for me it worked great with no problems at all but you do have to remove your virus protection software fully before you use it as it will warn you to do so.
Ccleaner: Keeps your p.c clean, use daily.
