The latest version of CCleaner may be able to help:
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

If you run a file analysis by clicking on the "Analyse" button on the first screen, it may reveal some redundant files in these folders, that is if it has been set up to check them in Windows 7.

I'm not sure, as I haven't run CCleaner for Windows 7, but it could work. Please try it, and let us know.

I have seen that virus goes in Roaming too :D

Roaming is served for some configuration files (I think we can see Firefox in it ... a Microsoft folder too).

And note: The temporary forlders (called TEMP) have a special rules: We are never cleaned (yes, Microsoft know exactly what the temporary word means)

A bit off topic, but is Game Booster really useful (and working) ?
