Answer 3

Search for that trojan on google and you may find a remover client, but be careful some of these clients come bundled with other spyware...

On downloads.com there is a suite of anti spyware and antivirus products that you can donwload and run to remove the virus i.e. AVG AntiVirus, SpyBot Search and Destroy (this is good beacuse it removes registry entries that hold the trojans), LavaSoft AdAware

After all of the bots of ran download and run CleanUp2.0 (search for it on google) to clear up and remaining entities of the trojan.

Good Luck!

i used to use norton thought it was good but ad the same prob as you couldnt get rid of it and norton wasnt doing what it was suppose to so i went to my main server and asked them for there help and there virus software havent looked back since
my gets updated everyday and scanned excellent and all my pop ups are blocked dont get any but been with norton after a while my pop ups were coming up even tho it was saying blocked
im with blueyonder which of course is now virgin try your server for anti spyware/ firewall you mite end up paying a month fee but it still works out cheaper than what you pay for norton for yearly and if you are on the faster broadband you get it for free
as for everyone giving you different web sites becareful as some contain virus as i worked that out and also contain spyware stuff
good luck and hope you get it sorted out :)

Answer 5

AdAware is pretty good at removing them, so is Trend Micro's Housecall. Both are free.

If you don't have success with those...
Check your running processes. Kill any that look suspicious.
Run "msconfig" and check the programs that get run at startup. If you don't like any of the ones you see, get rid of them (they can be added back later.)
