Go to grisoft.com and download their free antivirus program. Install it, restart, update it, and run a full scan. That will fix it up for you.

What version of windows do you have? Do you know what trojan it is?

Go to housecall.antivirus.com. Run the free scanner from there, you are basically "streaming" the scanner, not actually downloading anything.

If that does not work, go to vil.nai.com/vil/stinger. You have to download stinger.exe. This is a very good program.

Someone mentioned www.grisoft.com. This is a good program. It is called AVG. It is totally free and doesn't screw with sh*t like Norton and McAfee.

I am sure I can help you, just give me a little more info.

later
