Just reformat. Its the most effective way of making sure you dont have a botnet and its probably faster. If of course you are actually part of a botnet. Unless you see something blatantly obvious it is probably going to be a pain to remove manually.

Too late. God damn man, if you had just downloaded Spybot S&D, Malwarebytes you would have been perfectly fine and not needed to reformat.
Want to know how you got the bot? Running unknown executables.
Don't run keygen programs. Don't run 'crack' programs.
Don't run 'Legit Windows Update Bypass!!!1'
They're obviously going to infect your machine... Just use common sense next time, okay?
