"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

ComboFix will run in safe mode (some infections disable safe mode and running executables which makes things a bit more tricky) so that's were I usually start. After that I'll reboot in standard mode and run Malwarebytes. That usually does the job, though I usually run ComboFix again in standard mode just to be sure. ComboFix is good at detecting root kits, which are now often installed to keep you from being able to remove the infection. ComboFix will bleep about it, jimmy the root kit, restart the machine and go about its work. One thing about ComboFix, you have to get it from their site or from Bleeping Computer. It is much feared by malware writers so they have seeded the Internet with fake versions.
