got a couple of the little buggers on my system which are constantly being found and removed by my anti virus software but i think they are rooted in ie5 and keep spawning from there.

I reccommend Spybot and Adaware. This will remove those nasty trojans (in combination with your anti-virus application).
No single program can detect and eradicate all spyware which is why I recommend using Ad-aware and Spybot (they are free and the best). Other great free anti-spyware programs would be AVG Anti-spyware (formally Ewido) and Super Anti-spyware.
Webroot Spy Sweeper is the best, but it's not free (see the Consumer Search source for reviews of the best anti-spyware programs).
Running these programs in Safe Mode (tap F8 after powering on the computer and choose to boot to Safe Mode) can be more effective.

Throw a dog a bone man! What trojans! What anti-virus? Why ie5? Have you got System Restore on? Windows firewall perhaps (LOL) ? Get yourself a freebie or two. Put Mozilla on. Removing the little bugggers (sic) is generally quite easy. Even if I could do that from the information you have given, I wouldn't bother, 'cos you would end up getting it back again and end up infecting the rest of us. Tell me what "trojan", I will tell you how to get it off your computer. I will tell you how to keep them off. Justify the time and expense.

For starters, download, update and run a full scan using the following product:
http://www.superantispyware.com/
SuperAntiSpyware is exceptional and will remove the majority of difficult Trojans and Worms, not just the easy ones.
If possible it is recommended that you load the application in normal mode but run it in Safe Mode. Safe Mode can be started by continually pressing F8 during the boot sequence. However, if you are badly infected you might need to run SuperAntiSpyware more than once to help clean your system. If the only infections now being shown are in System Restore, once you are completely satisfied that you can boot normally, you can either delete the infected restore points manually, or temporarily turn off System Restore.
Next to get rid of any snippets still left behind download & run SpyWareTerminator

AVG Free edition is always good for a go. You get full support initially and then you have the option to buy the full package. I've run the free edition for years now and it's always worked for me. They also do a fab spyware program which cleans more than a lot of programs such as mcafee or norton.. Just go to avg.com. It takes a while to download depending on your connection speed but it's worth it in the end. Trust me, i'll never buy anything ever again. Spybot S+D is well worth a look too..

as said before ie5 is VERY old.. update it to 7 OR use firefox instead..
http://www.filehippo.com/
spybot
adaware
and the cleaner from
www.moosoft.com
thing is your anti virus is finding them, BUT you need to boot in safe mode + system restore off, thats why they are re occurring..
sys restore off > windows key + break.. tick it off in the sys restore tab then APPLY
safe mode.. tap f8 on boot..
THEN scan
if your not running a firewall also, the get zone alarm
if your using win 98se , it's full of holes and isn't supported any more.. I would suggest either upgrading ya pc OR downloading a version of linux which would be far more secure =)
