    I find the best combo for cleaning out malware is the following:

    Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (newest release as required)
    Lavasoft Ad-Aware (SE 1.06, not 2007 or 2008)
    Symantec A/V Corporate 10.2 Client

    BTW these take a long time if you've got a lot of data (My development machine takes 6 hours, i run them one at a time to avoid any possible conflicts)

    Run Symantec First (Liveupdate the Full Scan), Then Ad-Aware (I Use Pro w/ Ad-Watch) update definitions and then full scan. Last update Malwarebytes defs/database, and then run a full scan. (malwarebytes usually catches whatever hijacks/trojans are left behind by Ad-Aware).

    I am confident in this combo, as i just used it this week to remove Mirar and a couple other stragglers. May not remove all registry keys, but it will leave the bugs harmless (unregisters dlls and cleans Run/RunOnce keys from Registry). if you want you just do a final run through of the registry to remove cosmetic problems (IE Add-on/ Add/Remove Programs) but do this CAREFULLY! this is what separates Windows from linux.

    Works for me, it's what i use on my network & associated laptops. I also use the same package for clients' networks and recommend to those who ask.
