Here is a list of very good and reliable security and cleaning tools:

CCleaner - removes junk and speeds up your pc
Clean Master - removes junk and speeds up your pc
Adw Cleaner- removes any adware from a pc
Malwarebytes Anti Malware - great malware detection tool, this will spot any infections and remove them
Spybot Search and Destroy - similar to Malwarebytes, but takes longer to scan
Glary Utilities - cleaning software and also comes with a virus scanner
Malwarebytes Anti Rootkit - removes rootkits and repairs damage
Kaspersky free scan - finds and removes threats and infections

Using software like Adwear, AVG, MSE, hijackthis, etc you'll need to remove them. If there are a ton I suggest rebooting into safe mode. Keep scanning over and over with different programs until it comes back all clean. And find something that scans for root kits.

Hope this helps. Remember to clean after a scan and for Malwarebytes scan twice to check if the virus/malware has gone.
