The antivirus should do it,don't get so scared,a lot of false trojan horses are being recognized by many of the antivirus programs....

Make sure that you computer is not connected to the internet as most Trojans capture and send all you private information back to its host.
A few months ago I opened an email from a person that I did not know and even though I had an anti-virus and a firewall installed it not only download a trojan but several virus' as well. Before I could even begin to act it wiped out my hard drive. I lost everything. Be careful, but do get rid of it.

I'm not quite sure how it works in terms of copyright, but there are websites where you can actually download Windows DLLs if necessary. Had to download one myself this weekend that was missing from my system for some reason.

Thanks, I was thinking of downloading the .dll if my anti-virus can't fix it.

I'm not sure where I got the damn thing and thereis a trojan and viruses in my documents as well, (A Sudden Attack!), but that doesn't concern me much as they're not in my windows system or registry and can be handled easily I feel. I hope so anyway. Love to catch these bastards and shoot them!

At least this is my old computer that got hit. Still very annoying.
