Game Software not working after Adware & Spyware invasion

Hello all
 
I recently was infected by a virus on Windows Media Player when asked to update my codec. Not thinking anything of it, I clicked on it, and it proceeded to infect my computer with numerous pop-ups and adware. I removed the majority of it, got numerous windows updates and spyware tools, and I believe 90% of the problem is fixed.
 
Now, when I go to play an online game known as Counter-Strike Source, whenever I click on the icon, the cursor will change to show it's waiting, then change back to normal, without the game opening or beginning. I tried another one of my games, and the same thing happened. I re-installed the game client and it still wont work...
 
Clearly there is an .exe file corruption, so does anyone have any ideas on:
A) Removing more spyware that may be corrupting said files
B) How to ensure the games will work even after removing the spyware
C) Any solutions to this strange problem
 
Thanks in advance, I look forward to some solutions.
