Restart your PC in safe mode with networking, and run a full scan with both.

While in safe mode, you may also want to have a look at your start up items by using msconfig.

Disable any you do not use.

After you reboot back to normal mode, download and install ccleaner to fix any registry problems and clean up old temp files.
