I allways use Malwarebytes for this, but use whatever your comfortable with.
My reccomendation would be to download a malware virus removal program from another PC to a removable drive and then run it on the infected PC.
If this does indeed work, make sure to run a scan on the removable drive you used.If all this fails, restore to an earlier date after booting up in safe mode. (hit f8 while booting)
Good luck!
