    hi adele, what virus scan program have u got? Can you tell me what kind of trojan horse it is if u can? Theres probably a removal tool on the net to remove that type of virus, normally is.

    What virus is it?

    What AntiVirus software are you using to delete it?

    You could try Stinger. It's a small download and can be quite effective against common viruses/worms/trojans. Theres a list of viruses it covers on the site.

    Looks like he has AVG already (heal gave it away) although it may not be version 7 so download version 7 from the grisoft website and get the latest update and run a scan. Also, run stinger from Mc'Afee's website.

    or go to Trend Micro site and run "Housecall"
