Default Trojan Virus

My Norton scan tells me I have a Trojan Virus. Instructions on manual removal are a tad above my computer skills. I've noticed no issues with the computer.

Who knows of a safe online download to remove this type of virus? My sis told me she found one but could not remember the name.

Thanks for the help.

So just you and your wood??

I removed the virus, running Ad Aware now too.

I'll run another Norton scan tomorrow.

Oh and thanks again!
