help my computer has got some virus thats making loads of web pages load up .
ive downloaded a trojan hunter and it found and cleaned over 80 trojan
viruses and it says port12346/tcp is open and being used by a trojan is this
why all the pahes keep loading up.

Without some basic details such as which "trojan hunter" program you
used and the name(s) of the trojan(s) it purportedly found it is
difficult to give you specific advice.

There is a legitimate program called Trojan Hunter but there are also
a number of fake/phony programs that bill themselves as "trojan
hunters" but which are worse than useless because they actually
install spyware & trojans onto your computer.

Try scanning your computer with at least one of the following
reputable free online scanners and see what the results are:
Trend Micro http://housecall.trendmicro.com
Kaspersky Online Scanner http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
Panda ActiveScan http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan
WindowSecurity.com TrojanScan http://windowssecurity.com/trojanscan
Webroot http://www.webroot.com/

Good luck
