scan your system with your antivirus software. perform a boot time scan if the program allows you to. otherwise you may need to reload.

If you use Microsoft go to their web site microsoft.com and get Microsoft Security Essentials. It will scan and fix any viruses you have acquired. Its free and easy to install and use, also it continues to protect your computer

To make sure you get all malware off your computer you need to run more than one program. Each anti malware program will handle some subset of all viruses but only running one will usually miss some of the malware. The one thing you can probably be assured of is that if you have a known infection there are probably others that are not yet discovered.
Run all of this from safe mode and always download the software from a different computer that is not infected.
Use the following:
Malwarebytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org
Super Anti Spyware - http://www.superantispyware.com
Combofix - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix
