i agree with the advice above, but i suggest to also get a-squared FREE:
a-squared Free - Free of charge Anti-Virus, Anti-Trojan, Anti-Spyware, Anti-Dialer and Anti-Worm Software - Freeware!

it has better detection rate then malwarebytes, so run both and see what they find.

Microsoft Security Essentials would be a good choice as well.

If the first removes the evilware then it won't be there for the second to find.

No harm in scanning again and again!

Yeah I thought about scanning only and not "fixing" the first go around after I posted that.

Well, even if you fix it the first time, a second scan is good in case of some really nasty malware that moves itself around and refuses to be deleted (have seen it happen)

Are you going to try a second AV scanner?

Thanks, all. Deleted all Temp folders and ran Malware program as suggested - reported 7 hits which I deleted. Also removed a suspicious entry from my Firewall permissions.
Now, we'll see...

Good to hear, and thanks for the update.

May want to run another scan to see if its still there.
