This is also why some of you might have noticed that on occasion being in the #3 spot on the Search Engine Rankings gets you more traffic than the number one and two positions. This sort of adware is rampant among windows users and several of them mess with the Google results - often the #1 and #2 spots for targeted keywords The companies involved sometimes change the malware so often using updates that the anti-malware companies cannot keep up. They slip right past most existing detection mechanisms.
Use as many utilities as you can to remove this infection. It might be smart to keep it disconnected from all networks for a few days and manually load updates into the anti-malware utilities using removable media. This gives the anti-virus companies a chance to catch up. If you plug the machine back in and it's still infected it might update it's code once again to stay ahead of the good guys writing the detection code. Be aware that I've had six big name utilities fail to detect a Zango variant, with it only getting detected by the seventh. Things are that bad, no shit.
