How Do I Remove A Trojan Horse Virus?

[livestrong2009]

I've seen many post asking about how to remove the virus but none of them really helped. I did a virus scan yesterday and I came up with 2272 Trojan Virus' on numerous files that I didn't know were on my computer such as Zoolander.exe and a lot of porn which I don't look at. All the files were .exe I used Symantec Corporate Anti-Virus and AdAware and Spybot. I am running Windows XP and I have a windows XP so I could always just format my hardrive. But if anyway has an easier way to remove the virus I would more than greatly appriciate it. Thanks To Everyone that replies.

Can you tell us the exact virus names as given by your antivirus scanners? I suggest getting a better antivirus. Norton doesn't catch a lot viruses that it should catch.

You need new porn :lol:

But seriously, I used Norton all my windows life and it worked perfectly for the time i used it.

Well, this is what I do and it works for me, as for you, i'm not so sure. I usually just go to windows explorer and type in the location of the file and delete all files that come up. Also, sometimes I disable system restore and go into safe mode and do another virus scan.
