Yes, this is great advice. MalwareBytes is da man !
Once you've got a clean system, it would be a good idea to install Sandboxie (http://www.sandboxie.com/) and then run your browser in a Sandbox. Then if ever you get browser malware again, empty the sandbox and start with a clean slate.
I do all browsing and most other stuff sandboxed - either using Sandboxie, VirtualBox, or both (Sandboxie running inside a VirtualBox VM), but I'm super careful when it comes to security.
