Avira also has a bootable CD antivirus program you can download for free. Burn it to a disc, see if that detects anything... that helped me with one computer where nothing I could run while Windows was running could get rid of the virus.
Other than that yeah, Malwarebytes, spybot search and destroy, and ad-aware should be considered essential, at least for trying to figure out what you're infected with. First you need to know what it is, then see if those programs can get rid of it. If those can't, that's when it gets tricky. But perhaps they will, or a bootable CD.
