Try MalwareBytes Anti-Malware (MBAM). Download and install it (requires admin credentials), then update it, then run a quick scan. Follow the instructions if any malware is found.
If the PC has more than one account you should clean each account, then log out and log into another account and clean it. Sometimes you must take the fight to Safe Mode.
Updated frequently, MBAM is an impressive malware fighting tool. If it doesn't find and remove your rogue program right away, keep checking for updates throughout the day. On a slow day, MBAM is usually updated more than 6 times a day.
