Which Windows do you have? How do you know you have this trojan?
If you have XP or ME, turn off system restore before you begin...viruses are backed up in restore points.

Download/Install Avast Home Edition, it's 100% FREE and better than Norton.

When it asks you to perform a boot scan, hit yes...reboot when it's finished installing.

What programs have you used to scan your system?

Try these if you haven't already:

Adaware
http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-...ml?tag=lst-0-1

Spybot
http://www.download.com/Spybot-Searc...ml?tag=lst-0-1

Spy Sweeper
http://www.download.com/Webroot-Spy-...-10373771.html

Spyware Doctor
http://www.download.com/Spyware-Doct...-10377263.html

Microsoft Antispyware Beta
http://www.download.com/Microsoft-Wi...ml?tag=lst-0-1

A-Squared
http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/download/

CWShredder
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Interne...Shredder.shtml


Install them, update them, run complete system scans.
(Spyware Doctor and Spy Sweeper are trial versions, but are fully functional...just uninstall them when you're done scanning/removing spyware)

Report back with your findings.

Download HijackThis

Run your results through both analyzers or post them here and somebody would probably do it for you.
