Most of the scanning programs (like Spybot, Adaware, Norton, CWShredder) have an option to delete the found files (put them in quarantine or whatever it's called). Spybot, for example, is called Spybot Search and Destroy, which already tells it, doesn't it.

Only if the result is below your expectations google around to find instructions for manual removal. It will hardly be necessary.

Hope this helps.
