Hi,
The simplest way to remove most trojans is to:
a) Restart in Safe mode by hitting F8 at boot.
b) Run a full system scan with antivirus software and allow it to delete the
infecting files (something that it cannot do in normal mode as the files are
active).
c) Remove the string in the registry that is loading the file at boot, you
will normally find them under these keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg
d) Restart normally.
