In the first instance, I would download and run ComboFix - this cures a lot of Malware. Once downloaded, just run it - it doesn't need an internet connection

You could also install the AVG Free antivirus scanner (although there are others too) and manually download and install the current definitions each time they are updated:-

bitdefender is not free?
just a note : if you want an AV on a system without internet, you must update the virus  signatures yourself
and i don't know if that is possible..
@nobus - MANY anti-virus products post their signatures for download purely for this reason
yes - correct, so that is solved..
