What if your virus protection detected a trojan and it can't delete clean or quarantine it? What can I do? Is there anything else?

Type the name of the trojan in your search engine followed by the word removal. You may find an executable file, you may also find you will have to manually delete registry entries and other files.

go to www.download.com
search there for the antivuris software called 'kaspersky'
download it...
it something of 15mb i think and it is a 30 day trial piece. But don't worry...
download and install it to your computer and run the 'my computer scan'
It shall detect all virus and trojans in your computer.
The either of the following thing will happen
1. A pop up of kaspersky antivirus shall rise at the bottom right of your computer. And there is an option to delete the evil thing.
2. If the pop up appears not, on the kaspersky scanning window, there is an option on the bottom called action. And on the window of this antivirus software, the detected viruses and trojans shall be shown. Select it and simply give the delete option.
It is sure to work
I had 2345 viruses and 7 trojans in my computer. Kaspersky made it perfect.
So try it and smile then after...
thank you...

I can give a few links that offer free virus and spyware removers...! Norton, AVG , Avast are free antivirus software. Ad-aware, Ewido are free spyware removers. You can download free softwares at
http://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html
If antivirus and spyware remover software does not work, you can try to restore the computer to an older working configuration. Detailed instructions are posted at http://fixit.in/systemrestore.html
