1- If you have anti-virus and anti-spyware programs already installed on
your computer, update the programs and scan your computer. With luck,
the programs will detect and remove the problem.
2- If the scan doesn't produce results, contact the program's technical
support. Most of the major anti-virus/spyware programs will help you to
remove an infection that their software did not detect.
3- Scan your system with /several/ of the better free online scanners,
such as (no order implied):
Kaspersky Antivirus (

NOD32 (

Trend Micro Housecall (

Panda ActiveScan (

Sophos

GrisSoft AVG (

4- HijackThis is a hijacker detector and remover, but expanded with a
lot of other checks against hijacker tricks. It is continually updated
to detect and remove new hijacks. More information here:

You can post your HiJack This logs in several forums (NOT here), such as
this one:

tml
If none of the above remove the malware, you may want to show the
computer to a professional.
