    Ok. Here's my suggestion.

    1. Download Hitman Pro.
    2. Run the downloaded setup file and start scan.

    Before running the scan, make sure you have a working internet connection while scanning. Scanning is very fast and should finish in under 3 minutes.

    3. If it finds any Infection, just click Next to activate the 30-day trial license, to remove the found infections.

    This would probably be the easiest way. :)

    Other ways would be to download anti-malware applications like MBAM, SAS or a-squared and run a ful system scan, which would take longer.

    Cheers & good luck.
