I use Windows 7 64-bit and boot-time scan is not available yet.
I recommend Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) as it will detect and remove those infections:

Download the free version then install it and update its definitions then run a Quick scan and have it remove all it finds.
Thanks, YoKenny. I decided to take the easier route and download the Ani-Malware you suggested, it found 19 threats, and I had it removed 'em all. 
I hope this fixed things. (Btw, how often do you suggest I run this malware program for future reference?)
@ Ellissa
I purchased MBAM and for a one time licence it is well worth the purchase.
I have it set for hourly updates with a Quick scan dailly but with the paid version it runs a Flash scan at update.
Ellissa,
to answer your question…if you intend to use malwarebytes as a on demand scanner(free version, like you just did) as alot of people do, once a week is fine, just be sure to do a update before scanning.
hope this helps.

I’m on dial-up and the MBAM updates are a pain in the rear as it download the complete database again and that is why I only do a weekly scan and update prior to that scan. That is one of the reasons why I wouldn’t buy it as I wouldn’t be using the resident protection, allowing auto updating of the database.
@DavidR
You do not need to set it to update hourly or even daily.

The Website Blocking feature is great.
Thanks guys, you have been really helpful. I may purchase it, but I think I’ll stick with the free version for now. I was actually debating on renewing my norton again for further protection, but if you all feel having avast and the MBAM program should protect me enough, I’ll take your word for it. ;D Thanks again!
I know I’m not forced to do anything, but I simply won’t support them if they can’t implement an incremental update, rather than download the full database every time. Perhaps I’m spoilt with avasts incremental update process, if MBAM could implement something similar then it would be so much of a chore updating taking 15-20 minutes.
They have talked about it for long enough, surely it can’t be beyond their collective wit, it has to be to their benefit too as they wouldn’t be using anywhere near the same bandwidth, which presumably they have to pay for.
Apparently not for everyone. See http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=54301

@ DavidR
Having to use dial-up is a hindrence in using the Internet these days. 
I’m not having any problems with SpywareBlaster updating. As the MalwareBytes forum thread states, this is affecting those people that, because of their geographic areas and the CDN loading, are routed to the blacklisted distributed IPs. This shouldn’t happen.
