Trojans can't move, so probably you want to get a better protection than what you have now

OK..Thought you said you can never clean it unless reformatting your comp

How can a Trojan move out of ur comp by turning it off :-k

You should get a paid firewall or a free one

and a scanner like spybouncer

You don't seem to know much about viruses

Ok here's what you should do.
Set up a firewall, go into your internet connection - properties > advanced
Get the following programs, use them maybe once a week:
Spybot search and destroy
adaware
AVG antivirus(gotta love the free)
Also exploit any antivirus your comp came with.

And as well as that do the following:
Clear your temporary internet files(cache for firefox), and history and such
Defrag your hard drive
system scan

The last few aren't antivirus, just helpful hints on speeding the comp up. However I'm not giving up my best way, which sped my comp up by at least 10x

Note: all of that can miss stuff, so don't trust it 100%. I've had it miss some malware, and you need to know your registry to clean yourself good. My advice, if you don't know it, don't **** with it

kaspersky is a good scanner for trojans and spyware and stuff of that nature
