Hi Andy,
My recommendation - run your antivirus/malware in 
Windows safe mode so it can catch any malware before it 
is activated.
You could try out the trial version (fully functional 
for 30 days) of "Emsisoft Anti-Malware" - according to 
numerous tests, and my own experience, it's one of the 
best there is.

I've been using it since it was developed (in 2003) and 
it has stopped, quarantined and removed all sorts of 
stuff trying to get on to my XP machine before it could 
do any damage.

There's also a free portable version you can download 
and run from a USB-stick at 
http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/eek/ so you can run 
it on any number of computers without the bother of 
installing it

Cheers
Douglas
