How to Remove Trojans; Trojan horse
virus will not replicate like virus and hence it is difficult to
detect and remove Trojan virus. If you suspect your computer is
infected with Trojans (or any other malware such as Spyware, Virus,
Adware), please take steps immediately.
The following procedures
should remove most Trojans or malware (except perhaps for completely
new, unknown or unusually malignant strains). It is better to complete
all steps one by one, so you can be (reasonably) sure that all Trojan
traces have been removed.

>> Click on Internet Options. Delete Temporary Internet Files, cookie,
off line content and Reset.
