I recommend:

1) Enable/Disable System restore on Windows ME (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q264887) or Windows XP (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;%5BLN%5D;310405). System Restore cannot be disabled on Windows 9x and it's not available in Windows 2k.

2) Clean your temporary files. You can use the  Windows Advanced Care (http://www.iobit.com/AdvancedWindowsCarePersonal/index.html) features for that.

3) Schedule a boot time scanning with avast. Start avast! > Right click the skin > Schedule a boot-time scanning. Select for scanning archives. Boot. Other option is scanning in SafeMode (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315222) (repeatedly press F8 while booting).

4) It will be good if you download, install, update and run other trojan remover tools: a-squared (http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/) and/or Free AVG Antispyware (http://www.ewido.net/en/) (trojan removers). Some users recommend SUPERantispyware (http://www.superantispyware.com) or Spyware Terminator (http://www.spywareterminator.com/).

5) Use the immunization of  Windows Advanced Care (http://SpywareBlaster or, which is better, the [url=http://www.iobit.com/AdvancedWindowsCarePersonal/index.html) features of spyware/adware cleaning and removal.
