Keep downloading and running scanners until it is completely removed.  Then open my computer, right click on the C:\ drive and click properties.  Click disk cleanup.  Click one of the other tabs and delete system restore points which it might use to install back into your system.  Then download CCleaner and Advanced WindowsCare Personal to clean up and optimize your computer.
