Get a stand-alone scanner like the AVG Rescue CD and scan/remove with it. Link is below. Download the ISO, burn to CD. Boot from CD and allow to update when asked. Perform a full scan and remove all found.
Good luck!

KxrlPlays :
I've already had to DBAN my computer 4 times because of darn malware which my Norton 360 isnt protecting me from... I dont really want to wipe everything again - its so much hassel
If you've wiped the PC 4 times, and it still keeps happening....it's not the PC.
What are you downloading and running?

As you probably suspected uTorrent mainly - however I am 99% certain that I got this malware from when I tried downloading pokemon emerald from an emulator for pc :/

Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this.
Doctor: Then don't do that!
USAFRet is right, if you keep downloading the same sorts of infected files, you will achieve the same results. Torrented files often come with extra stuff (mostly bad) installed.
Short of a clean install, you should remove the questionable applications fully, including the setup files. Then, use the stand alone scanner (AVG Rescue CD linked earlier) and clean your rig.

There is probably no need to "afford a full version of anti malware just yet". The free ones are fine.
But if you keep downloading and running the same infected file, guess what.....you will be infected again.
Don't do that.
If what tools you have cannot eradicate whatever infections you have....wipe, reinstall, and move on.
