    Malwarebytes'Antimalware and HitmanPro3 are your best options.

    Mind you, you've gotten a very serious rootkit+trojan infection.
    While it's possible to remove this password&credit card data-stealing malware, my advice in such cases is to do either a fresh install or put a clean image back.
    When reinstalling, make sure to do a full format.
