Operating system cleaning- Malware/spyware cleaning

For cleaning viruses and malware/spyware from your Windows XP/Vista/7 three tools need only be used in most cases:
  1. Mbam software (Malwarebytes malware removal software can be downloaded here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free)
  2. Spybot seek and destroy (spybot removal software can be downloaded here: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html)
After running both of these programs and removing whatever they find,  you can then opt for a registry clean. There are many tools designed to clean the registry of a windows computer, but the one I use is Ccleaner.
Ccleaner can be downloaded here: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner.

Thats about it.
You could always run an antivirus scan of your computer as well, but in most cases, it will have done the best job it could do anyway, and will not find anything else.
