    umm be very very careful downloading any free trojan removers 1/2 of them are in themselves viruses well, technicaly scumware but close enough to be concidered a virus
    basicaly thats what it was trying to install, a "free trojan or virus remover" that basicaly is a virus

    Download the free version of AVG Antivirus from Grisoft. It's one of the better anti-virus programs out there.
