Best way to remove problem Malware

Hi There,

I am trying to remove a bundle of Malware without success.

There is a bundle of listed programs which I try to uninstall through the typical Control Panel effort, but they remain listed there:

Buenosearch Toolbar
MyPC Backup
PC Performer
Speed Test 127
UnknownFile

I was looking at this weblink which provides a 5 step process for Buenosearch alone:

Do not get SpyHunter. It's just as bad as the malware you have,

Follow the steps here.

If it is not listed in the Control Panel, or it can't be removed there, move on to step 2. HitmanPro might not be needed.
