Trojan Horse on my Computer?

Question

My computer notified of a trojan horse in computer, then i used norton and spy sweeper to get rid of the trojan horse, but there is still this little red thing at the right bottom corner that says my computer is infected every 5 minutes. When i click it it tells me to download an anti virus program and when i do it says i have to activate it and pay money. I've tried restrating my computer and ive swept it 4 times with norton and spy sweeper, but it still shows up

I dont know what the trojan is called but it tells me to download System Live Protect and then tells me the trial version does not work and i must buy the registered version

Sound familiar?

Microsoft Security Center fake warnings in your task bar...
[NOTE: These started about WMFmetafile exploit 2005, several:
SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, SpywareQuake, and several others now, new SpyLocked]
Example: "How to Remove SpyFalcon" (Review in full at website)
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic43659.html
SpyFalcon is a anti-spyware program that is known to issue fake warnings on
your computer in order to manipulate you into buying its full commercial
version. If you are infected with this program you may receive warnings in
your task bar that appear to be from Microsoft Security Center stating that
you are infected with spyware and to run its special anti-spyware tool. This
tool turns out to be the commercial version of SpyFalcon. These warnings are
fake and are a goad to have you buy the commercial version of this
software.....

For your PC to be OK, you have to protect it from viruses and hackers!
The virus is a small program that attach itself to other files from your computer and can harm your computer, by restarting it, freezing it or even by deleting your files or stealing your personal information.
To keep your computer safe from viruses you have to use an anti-virus program, like Norton, AVG, Kaspersky, Avast, Antivir, McAfee, Bit Defender. Some are free and others have trial versions.
Here you have some links to download the free versions of some of the best anti-virus programs, as well as other security tools:

I have the same problem however yours is similar. First you probably have to search for the process created by the virus. control alt delete and look for anything that is similar to the trojan name or website that they want you to purchase from. If you find it, write down the process, end it, then go to computer search and type the process in. If anything comes up, delete it. If that doesnt solve your problem go to "Change or Remove Programs" look for the process name. If it is there, remove the program and it should remove the virus completely. If that doesnt work!!, than restart your computer in safe mode by pressing f5 or f6 repeatedly until a safe mode screen appears. click regular safe mode, log in, scan your computer, and look for any remains of the file, process, or anything of that virus kind in the computer browser(My computer, My documents, C://,etc...) and delete it. Scan your computer one last time and then restart the computer in regular mode. Another good way to get rid of trojans are malware wipers and spyware protection programs. I would consider ad-aware or any other anti-spyware or malware programs.
