Antivirus programs are good for detecting and removing viruses but less effective with Trojan horses. What you need is a standalone anti-trojan software program. By far the best anti-trojan program is Ewido. In addition, it is free. Ewido has a 30- day trial period. After this period, the real time protection is disable but everything else works. You can choose to use their online scanner or you can download and install the program on to your computer. The newest version includes detection for spyware as well.

The download link is:http://www.ewido.net/en/

hi, trojan is a disgusting and infamous virus. perhaps you can try Norton to remove the virus. but you need to pay for the software.

i also recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.

besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.

firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.

download firefox for free:

How long have you had this trojan?? If they things above me dont work, put your computer into safe mode, go to start, properties, accesories, system tools and then syster restore. restore your computer back to a point when you did not have the trojan. it should work !! then get a VERY GOOD trojan horse eraser/ virus prtector. also spyware and adaware protection. :)
