Before anything can be done, have you removed the trojan virus?

If you haven't, then you may need to seek assistance here -
Security - Viruses
OE client -
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...security.virus
or

Web client -
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/com...security.virus

But please tell them what trojan you found or any information you can give including your
operating system.

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with
assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

http://castlecops.com/forum67.html,
http://forums.subratam.org/index.php?showforum=7,
http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or other appropriate forums for review
by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
