This is the first time I have recommended the Sophos Anti-Rootkit scanner as another one of the Gurus mentioned it, and I just tried it out myself.
A couple things to be aware of: to download the scanner, the company asks for quite a bit of information that I myself would not willingly give out, so if it makes you uncomfortable, the other virus/malware scanners I recommended should be sufficient. Also, if you do run the scanner, be judicious about what you select to remove. It found possible threats on my computer that I know are safe, so you will have to go through each file it marks and make sure it is not part of a program that you use. If you are unsure, do a Google search of the file and the program it is part of to see if they belong together, or ask us for our experience.
