Ensure you update the Vir def files before proceeding. After completion Avast is easily uninstalled.

I have used this a few times and it has found and removed all malware, fake virii detectors etc which various relatives/friends have allowed on to their machines.
+1 for avast I've never had a problem with it and if a virus is trying to get in it will 9 times out of 10 it will automatically cut the connection to the download!
