From another PC download and install these two programs and copy the the installed folders to a USB Stick.

Restart the PC in Safe Mode and turn off System Restore, then run Sophos and then run Spybot.

Download Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.5.2 and install it. Update it. http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

Download Sophos and the latest IDE Files. Install it and extract the IDE files to the C:\SAV32CLI folder.

Copy and paste the below two lines into Notepad and save the file to the USB Stick as sophos.bat, it will scan and remove. When the Scan has finished check the log file to see what it hasn't removed.

===============================

CD SAV32CLI

SAV32CLI -REMOVE -P=C:\REMOVLOG.TXT

===============================

The Sophos SAV32CLI folder can be safely deleted after it is copied to USB.

When you have finished running the above download and install Malwarebytes and update it. Reboot your PC in Safe Mode and run it.

Download RootkitRevealer v1.71 and run it

Just to be on the safe side when you finish do an online scan with Bitdefender.
