If your regular userid has admin privileges, then remove them!
(If the malware alters the anti-virus software or installs a root-kit

the anti-virus software "sees" nothing.) The best is to boot to safe
mode and scan with a fresh copy of some antivirus software. All major
antivirus vendors supply a bootable CD (or similar) for that.
