I'm not sure you can handle the general cleaning procedure... anyway I suggest:

1. Clean your temporary files.
2. Schedule a boot time scanning with avast with archive scanning turned on. If avast does not detect it, you can try DrWeb CureIT! (http://www.freedrweb.com/cureit/) instead.
3. Use SUPERantispyware (http://www.superantispyware.com), MBAM (http://malwarebytes.org/mbam.php) or Spyware Terminator (http://www.spywareterminator.com/) to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, better and safer is send the file to Quarantine than to simple delete them.
4. Test your machine with anti-rootkit applications (http://www.antirootkit.com/software/index.htm). I suggest avast! antirootkit (http://files.avast.com/files/beta/aswar.exe) or Trend Micro RootkitBuster (http://www.trendmicro.com/download/rbuster.asp).
5. Make a HijackThis (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/hijackthis.php) log to post here or this analysis site (http://www.hijackthis.de/#anl). Or even submit the RunScanner (http://www.runscanner.net/) log to to on-line analysis.
6. Disable System Restore and then reenable it again.
7. Immunize your system with SpywareBlaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html).
8. Check if you have insecure applications with Secunia Software Inspector (http://secunia.com/software_inspector/).
