Download AdAware & Spybot Search & Destroy - install, update, then run both - you likely got hit with a spybot/adbot type thing - one of those 2 programs should find and remove it for you.

Then after that install a firewall, I recommend Zone Alarm, you can download it for free. I did it a year ago, haven't had a problem since. (knock wood)

Thanks, Keith. Great idea. I forgot to mention that I also ran LavaSoft's Adaware when the Norton AntiVirus Scans failed to find the virus the Norton Alert had found earlier.

LavaSoft's AdAware found only the typical annoying cookies which I also removed.

According to Norton's site, this Trojan virus has been around for awhile, unless that space between the dot and "Trojan" signifies a new one.

I'm wondering why the Norton Scan couldn't find what the Norton Alert engine found, couldn't fix yet still reported. I am wondering if Trojan viruses migrate within a computer to other files.
