I've found Spybot Search & Destroy very helpful in such situations.
It detects all kinds of unwanted software, cookies, spyware etc. and
it's fine-tunable, if you want full control.

It's available from:
http://www.safer-networking.org/

The detection updates and tools update are available from within the 
program.
