Answer 2

First, free spyware stuff, Adaware, Windows Defender, and Spybot. Anti virus freeware, AVAST, or AVG. I brought Spyware Doctor, it has done the best in reviews for finding and removing nasty spyware. I have Kaspersky's anti virus, it auto updates the virus definitions 3 times a day. Try downloading and running the antivirus free stuff, see if that gets rid of the trojan. Let's say you can't. The only thing I can think of is to do a System Restore back to a date like sometime last week when you didn' t have it. Click on Start, then All Programs, chooses Accessories, and System Restore should be the last entry under System Tools. It has a easy walk through wizard. XP periodically takes snapshots of good configurations, it might save your bacon. Best of luck
