I always used spybot when I did computer repairs. You could also install a trial of kaspersky temporarily and that will I guarantee remove all of that shit for you.

I'd download HijackThis, run it and save a log. Check out some of the startup programs. If you see something suspicious, do a google on it, and it will usualy bring up a page with the spyware description and the proper way to remove it.
If you wanna go the easy way, post the log on the hijackthis forums, and they'll tell you the proper ways to remove it. Its a good idea to keep winblows on a separate partition just for this situation, so you can format and not have to back up your data. I'm a little hung over, excuse me if my typing is ass.

The best program I've come across yet is Easy Cleaner.
Since I started using it, I've had no problems, and it's freeware.
