I am running this small Eee Notebook with windows XP and for some reason I have this trojan on it.
Protection- I’m running spyware doctor, Ad-Aware, and AVG. Spyware doctor seems to be the only one to have found it. I am by the free versions, but I guess I can shell out some cash to get rid of it. How do i remove this trojan.
Also- I had a trojan yesterday and then I did a system recovery to set me back to last week.

You should try using MSCONFIG in Windows XP to disable some of the unnecessary programs that automatically load on start-up. Disabling these programs will help your computer boot faster and crash less.
1. In Windows XP, go to Start > Run
2. Type MSCONFIG in the “Open:” box and then any press enter on your keyboard or click on the OK button.
3. This launches Microsoft’s System Configuration Utility. Click on the Startup tab (the tab at the far right).
4. This takes you to a page with a list of “startup items.” Startup items are programs that are involuntarily loaded every time you turn on your computer. Some startup programs are absolutely necessary, others are austerely a waste of RAM.
Remember, disable only those programs that you recognize and don’t need to have running all the time. When in doubt, leave it on.
5. Click on the OK button.
6. A message will pop up telling you that you must restart your computer before these changes will take effect. Click on “Yes” and your computer will involuntarily reboot.
7. That’s it! Your computer should now boot quicker and crash less.
