Run your antivirus program.

I have also at times run an free on-line antivirus as well. There is a good one here - http://www.eset.com/online-scanner. You will have to follow the prompts and it will install some things it needs onto your computer but there shouldn't be any problems.

I also have a program called Malwarebytes that I regularly use. It is free and can be found here - http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

I also have a good program called Trojanhunter. You can get a free trial here - http://www.trojanhunter.com/

If you are not comfortable doing these things, I can direct you to a couple of forums where there is some excellent folks who can help you get rid of this problem. I have used them on many occasions and have learnt a lot from them.
Could you please let me know about those forums here or pm? Thanks so much :-D Can you run any of these virus scans while using Microsoft Security Essentials? Didn't know if they would work against each other at the same time.
