Trojan removal
I have had a look but can't find anything so far.
Does anyone know of any truly free trojan removers.
I found one which was useless, and I have found others which do a "free" scan but you have to pay for the program.

Most antivirus programs will remove trojans - so will many anti spyware programs
I recommend Avast Anti virus along with Spybot S&D, A squared, and even Windows defender - all free. Use in conjunction with a secure browser like Mozilla Firefox and a decent firewall like Comodo Firewall Pro (still free) and you're a way down the road to making and keeping your PC clean

Start your machine in safe mode and run a full scan with AVG , Spybot etc, maybe the offending file is locked when trying to delete it.
Word of caution I have had a number of occasions when Spybot has been attacked by a nasty and does not run correctly.... deleting it`s install directory and reinstalling normally resolves the issue.

While trying to sort out an annoying virus I recently picked up, I came across this page from Castle Cops.

Between all the downloading & scanning it took about a day to sort out my laptop but the result was excellent. In addition to sorting the virus I now have a much faster machine.
