Have you tried a boot time scan with avast!? Right click the scanner screen, select 'schedule a boot time scan' and reboot when requested.

Try the usual free adware/spyware scanners.

Ad-Aware Free (http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html)
Spybot Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html)
SUPERAntiSpyware Free (http://www.superantispyware.com/)
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (http://www.malwarebytes.org/)

Download, install and update the programs. Disconnect from the internet (pull the plug) before running scans in Safe Mode (http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml) if possible.

Always select the option to quarantine any malware found rather than delete it, then you will be able to restore files or registry entries wrongly identified as malware- a rare but not unknown event for any malware scanner.

If still having problems, post a HijackThis! log (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial42.html).
