Found this tip on another site, haven't tried it but sounds good

Every PC user has to deal with malware at some point. Quality security programs are the first line of defense. And they can block or remove nearly any infection. But no system is perfect.
Occasionally, a really bad piece of malware comes along. It could wreak serious havoc. If it's bad enough, even starting the computer might be impossible. If you can't start your computer, how do you fix it?
Most people will never run into something like this. But it happens. Fixing it requires a different kind of tool. That's what AVG Rescue CD is for. It contains various antivirus and anti-spyware tools.
You can burn it to a CD. Or you can install it on a thumb drive. Then, instead of booting into Windows, you boot from your CD or thumb drive. The anti-malware tools can be used to recover your system. You can clean out everything, and then get back to Windows.
Cost: Free
System: Windows XP, Vista and 7
