Try a program called Ad-Aware SE. Thats what I use and it works great.

You told me about this earlier but I would reccomend Avast! Home Edition.

Avast! Website wrote:
ALWIL Software, the producer of avast!, decided in June 2001 to help to solve this situation by offering avast! Home Edition free of charge for home users who do not use their computer for profit. To get industry leading antivirus protection for your home PC, download the software, and then register it.

It's what I use. Depending on how you set up Avast! it can be very useful. By default it is set to scan the website before it fully loads and scans files before you open them. Your thinking, this will slow down my computer, Only if you have less than 500MB Ram. This is a great tool. It's saved me from many trojans, virus', infections and many other things.

You can find more technical information on Avast! here.
You can download it here.

I did a little more research and seems now Avast! offers a new tool called virus cleaner which attempts to remove virus' and worms along with trojans.

You can download it here.

Help me, please. I can't load any pages on my other computer. I had this virus trojan thing. I'm sure I removed it, but I guess not? Any programs you guys know of that can scan my computer or something?

Ad-Aware SE and Avast are good programs, I have never had any success with trendmicro's housecall though, you may also want to try AVG Free if you haven't already.

And also, do you know how I can even ge tit to download on?? Thanks.

Is there something wrong with your internet? Or do you have it disconnected so that the infectious program can't contact the outside?

If you have a flash drive then that would be the easiest way to get the installer to your infected computer, you could also use a cd-rw (I wouldn't use r's because this is going to be a one time thing so it would be a waste of an r) if you have one and a cd burner. (This would be even safer then the flash drive)
