Most antivirus software should do the job. I personally recommend Avira, which is one of the best available antivirus software. It also features the best available on-access scanning which means if you download and open a virus, it will stop you. I would also suggest downloading Spybot S&D and and Ad-Aware.

I have ad-aware aniversary edition and spybot S&D, I was just looking for something specifically for trojans. They are a pain in the butt.

Are there any free trojan removal programs out there that will get rid of these darn trojans for me? I've used AVG and hated it. Ad-aware has never been very for effective for me. I've also used a free version of Panda Antivirus but it didn't seem to find any of the trojans I've had anyhow. Those are suggestions that for me have been mostly a waste of time (take into account that I'm on XP SP3 as your OS can definitely make a difference I'm sure.) Recently I had a despicable Trojan which I got from my girlfriend's flash drive. It would open up about 30+ internet explorer windows per hour for some lowlife's "Travian" city. Predictibly Travian will be on my black list from now until the next eternity. Finally I downloaded Avira and was able to get rid of the virus  . However it downloads updates and pops up an ad for the pro version from time to time (I belief it's once a day). If you can handle a pop up a day Avira might be worth a try. Even more recenty I got the "Antivirus 2009" virus, another nightmarish trojan which can crash your browser, hi-jack your google homepage, mess up your registry, and crash your computer among other things. After googling how to get rid of it I decided to try two free antiviruses: SUPERantiSpyware and Malwarebytes' Anti-malware. Fortunately they were able to element the trojan (and it's 19+ cronies) in one scan and reboot. So far I haven't had any problems with them so my number one recommendation would be Malwarebytes', followed by SuperAntiSpyware, then possibly Avira. Hope you are trojan free before long! I feel your pain.

You are obviously doing something that keeps getting you viruses. I would suggest isolating that issue and take care of it. Make sure all your software and Windows is up-to-date and then I would suggest getting a paid AV program. The free ones work, but with your problems, it is worth the investment.

Sounds like you need and MUST start running some software. Myself I use AVG and Bitdefender and I have never picked up anything other than a bad cookie since installing these 2 peices of Free software. Also too you must check your internet settings and some will laugh but make sure you have your windows firewall up too. isnt much but it helps.

I keep getting an error message saying FLTLIB.DLL is not present when I try to install some programs. I get it every time when I try to install Ad-Aware anniversary edition. I've gotten the same message for other things too. Any ideas what this is and why it isnt there?

Well if you have a virus or other malware, it might have deleted it. If you have the Windows installation disc, put it in and restart your computer, then have it boot form the CD drive and run the System Repair tool. That should replace it.

Why not get both? Its doesn't hurt, But just make sure you don't have any other security programs running otherwise it will crash your pc! Mostly Norton does that.......

Which then means he will need "AVG Anti-Virus"
They do a pro version which you have to pay for or they do "AVG Anti-Virus Free edition" Which is free... Are you sure? I'm pretty much sure AVG Anti-spyware fixes up viruses also, despite the program name. Well, I think it has fixed up tracking cookies for sure, but I think it has removed trojans. Never mind my comment then.

I feel your pain. I have to throw some endorsement on this one. I recently used both programs in bold to remove a persistent trojan (Anti-Spyware 2008, known as a number of other things by other antivirus programs) and it worked like a charm. I recommend these two programs highly as good options for anyone else suffering from Trojans or other malware. However, I'm glad that OP actually got around to wiping and reinstallation. It's a pain, but it's a sure way to eliminate any chance of a reoccuring threat (as long as your backups are clean).

I recommend for you to use AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5. I have that one, and it usually updates even if you don't have the paid version. Only difference is you won't have the firewall feature, but having it as an antivirus is very useful.
