Here is information about Ad-Killer (if that is what it is that has caused your problem). It is said to be a pop-up blocker and not a Trojan, so you may really be infected with something else.

Don't trust all things that purport to check your PC! Use reliable software such as the ones below:
Download Spybot, Adaware and Windows Defender. Run them and clean your PC. Also get a good antivirus software (AVG from Grisoft is free).

I can thoroughly recommend Adaware SE and AVG anti-virus - both free. For an occasional extra check, use Trend Housecall, also free but takes a while to run. Go to

hi, perhaps you can try Norton to remove the virus and protect your PC. but you need to pay for the software
i 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:

mcacfee, is very good for spyware, the auto scanner program will lock onto spyware as well as trojans and viruses, and will try to deal with them, updates are frequent and download in the background (meaning that they run behind IE and other programs)
