Answer 5

Buy norton antivirus - probably the best anti virus and spyware out there

If you dont wanna spend money, try downloading AVG Antivirus free. Just type that it in google and download it.

Its a great free antivirus and thousands of people use it.

Knock on wood, but if none of these work, you may need to bring your pc to a computer shop and have your hard drive formatted, or wiped out.

Just remember to save backup copies of your files

You are going to have to try to kill it with an anti-virus progrom which you should already have, wipe the hard drive completely clean and then reinstall windows!!! You may need dan to rebuild it for you...CALL AMY IMMEDIATELY!

As Sly Old Mole has said, how do you know you have a trojan?

Maybe you actually have a malware problem.

If it's a trojan then use this:

The program will work for a full 30 days, after which it will expire.

Answer 8

install Kaspersky 2009(recommended)

or install Trojan Hunter

Answer 9

get AVG 8.0

then completely scan your computer, it may take a few hours.

but once AVG has found it, it will heal it and store it in the virus vault, where it doesnt do any harm

but if your still worried, do the scan twice/ three times.

then reboot your computer from scratch(:

It happened to me about a week ago,

but now my computer is working better than it ever has:)
