Nation Zoom virus

I have a badly infected system with Nation Zoom.   It doesn't appear that doing a system restore gets rid of it which suggests that all of the restore points may be infected.   Has anyone of the EE's advisors found a successful way to completely rid a Windows 7 system of the virus?  I've used all of the normal things...virus engine, malwarebytes, ccleaner etc. etc.  I have not tried combo fix and tend to stay away from that until I have no other mechanism.  Any ideas will be appreciated.

It's an add on (plugin). Please follow the instructions at the following page to remove it:

I already did that and it did not remove it from the IE browser.  It did help with removing it from Chrome and Firefox.  Will try again.  I'm doing another system restore right now to the oldest one I can ID to see if the virus is embedded in that restore point as well. Hopefully, it isn't.  Will post again when I get the restore point up and running.

I elected to award points to both of you for your prompt response.  Basically, I restored the oldest restore point I could find and that fixed the problem.  I did run Adw and the other recommendations to ensure Nation Zoom was not present.  ADW did remove lots of junk which should help. All seems OK now.  Thanks again.
Great. You did it. :-)
Good Job!!!
