Try MalwareBytes and ADWCleaner.

If that doesn't work, reformat your PC.

What I used to do when I was a kid was open up task manager, and look for any processes that don't belong, or aren't normally active. When you find one, trace it back to it's roots and destroy it. Sometimes this can be a pain, and requires ending the process, renaming the file, ending the process again, and then deleting the file. This can sometimes be made easier by going into safe-mode.

so.. from experience, virusses like these generally completely kneecap your windows install, often leaving it "damaged at best" even after full removal of the virus.

 

reinstall may be the quickest and and most reliable solution.
