I use Kaspersky.... There are many ways to make it free......

You could also try going to Kaspersky and Norton's site. I believe they have a virus removal program. And if you're a Rogers Internet User, I believe they offer Rogers Online Protection for free. Last time I used it, it was basically Norton programs. Oh and there's the Microsoft antivirus program.

A lot depends on what you've got and how it got onto your system. If it's that particular beasty above you might need to attack it differently than a traditional virus.

Malwarebytes might work for the non-virus types (rogue anti-virus) or you can even try the latest microsoft malicious software removal tool.

Simultaneously?

(and to the other fellow, I'd rather have a virus than a Symantec product on my machines)

Do you know which trojan you have? I have had one and found that the best/only removal involved a couple of programs, shutting off system restore (dangerous unless you are backed-up and willing to reinstall your OS/programs) and reboot to safe mode.
