Try AVG ANTI SPYWARE and scan in safe mode.

The safest course of action is to format the system and start fresh. You can never know just what a trojan did. If it was just silently monitoring, if it was capturing keystrokes, or even if it was quietly downloading and installing other programs. Formatting is about the only way you can be absolutely sure you get rid of everything.

You then want to be sure to change all your passwords to something new when you get to that point, and be watching all your credit accounts for activity, as well as new lines of credit being taken out in your name.

After formatting, you'll probably want to follow some of these suggestions. These are only suggestions, but the more you follow the better your odds of avoiding problems will be.

1) Avoid using Internet Explorer as much as possible
1a) Use Mozilla Firefox, Seamonkey, Safari, or Opera
2) Be sure to always install security updates for Windows
2a) One and only time it's safe to ignore #1
3) Firewalls are important
3a) XP's firewall is good enough, but feel free to use a third party one
4) Anti-Virus programs are important
4a) If you need a free AV program, try AVG Free and Avast
5) Avoid using any pirated programs
6) Avoid using any file sharing (P2P) programs
7) Avoid using Outlook or Outlook Express
7a) I would recommend Mozilla Thunderbird or web based email such as Gmail
