Is there a "free" virus scanner that will detect and delete trojans? I have been using AVG, but have encountered problems with it. It detects them, but won't clean them.
I have 3 different sub 7 fake server trojans and cws.oslogo
Any help will be appreciated.... This is all on the job training for me.

Since you already tried AVG, try the other 2 listed below.
All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.
AVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

Ad-Ware seems to work pretty well for me!!!
It's free and has many updates to keep up with all the savvy adware.
