1. Try Avast, you can run a boot time scan.
2. You can try to track down the registry keys but that can cause more damage if you dont know what your doing.
3. Re-install windows. If you have the key for the install you can probably just do a repair from the start up disk and re-write the windows directory, if you dont have the key back up your data and do a fresh install. A lot of times thats the best way to go anyway.

if you havent tried them i suggest AdAware by lavasoft and spybot search and destroy. the latter has an advanced panel with all your programs that start up at windows, makes it very easy to disable most virus/spyware. plus it normally gives a little description of what the file does and if it necessary. both programs work in concert to keep my computer free of baddies.
