I use the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and it works really well in removing malware. Unfortunately, I don't know if you would be able to install anything if your computer is already crippled. Also AVG or Avast are good free anitvirus programs.

As raptor suggested use MBAM. Boot into safe mode to load it, then run a full scan. Hope this helps.
