The trojan is in a System Restore point. You can delete all but the most
recent (presumably clean) Restore Points by click the More Options tab
in Disk Cleanup (run>cleanmgr) and from there, the Clean Up button in
the System Restore section. Then run your scans again, in Safe Mode, to
ensure the computer is truly clean.
