Here is the official recommendation by the U.S. Department of Family Values:
1. Download
Autoruns for Windows on a healthy pc and store it on a usb drive.
2. Disconnect your computer from the internet. Unplug the cable or disable the wifi if available.
3. Cover your computer in tin foil or a metal mesh as much as possible.
4. Make a backup of all important files.
5. Go to control panel and chose "Uninstall a program".
6. Remove everything from "Apple Inc.", including but not limited to Bonjour (and anything else that's French), iTunes and iCloud. Remove everything else you don't recognize.
7. Restart your computer in failsafe mode - press F8 which is leetspeak for faith.
8. Plug in the usb drive with "Autoruns for Windows" and run it.
9. Turn off everything in the autostart and everywhere else you can't recognize.
10. Restart the computer.
11. Remove the cover and connect to internet.
