I would recommend you try Windows Defender Offline. It's a free utility from Microsoft that can scan your computer before the operating system and most malware starts up. You'll need to create the boot disk on a machine that is malware free and is running the same architecture as your infected machine. You would also have to change the boot order on the infected machine so it boots from the CD/DVD drive as first option.
Depending on how severely your machine is infected, you may not have any other choice but to completely wipe the hard drive and do a clean install. But try running the WDO scan first and see what happens.
