Hi there
I understand how frustrating Trojan are and reading what everyone puts down is right, re-format the hard drive and that Norton is really crap. But however, this may help you... I being semi expert on computers managed to get a Trojan virus that kept giving pop ups and trying all the usual things could not find any other solution but to reformat the hard drive. Until I came across this piece of software called security task manager. What a miracle it cleaned everything and my PC is as got as new. Do a google on it and you will find it, If not email me and I will send onto you.

Go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ It's a free online virus checker. This will identify all the trojans, and will try to remove them. Any it doesn't manage to remove:
Go crtl+alt+del. Go to the 'processes' tab, and end the process with the same name as the trojan. You will then be able to delete the file at the path which the virus checker gives you.
Good luck.
PS I've only ever done this with one trojan virus. If you have hundreds it might not be possible or feasible. I think it is worth a try though, rather than losing everything on your hard drive.

Hi
If you have anti virus software run a scan and locate the Trojan?
the go on run
type where the Trojan is located on you computer and remove the files it has brought up
that should work
good luck

Why does everyone think reformat is the solution? Geeze. You can download several malware remover programs (for free) that should help you regain control over your computer. Also clean up your registry while you are at it.
Spybot
Ad-aware
Regseeker
CCleaner
That should get you going in the right direction. Good luck!
p.s. Run these on a somewhat regular basis to keep your system under control.

If your computer is still working then download the free version of AVG. i had a trojan in my computer and sadly i lost everything. The guy who fixed it made backup but it still had the trojan on it AVG picked it up straight away and adviced me on how to clean it

Well first of all, when your computer is on take the ethernet cable out to get off of the internet. You dont want to keep getting more.
If you seriously have anywhere near 100, then it may take hours if not days to get rid of them all. You best bet would be to backup files that you need to keep and format your hard drive. I know other say that this is not required. In your case I would suggest it.
