It created file names that changed in the system directory. I did a directory listing and found many sets of files with the exact size by sorting by size. I tried many things but what finally did it was a combination of the programs adaware and spybot. Some programs found problems and seemed to clean it up but it kept comming back. Oh, turn off system backup (I don't remember the correct term) when cleaning it up. But the biggest Trojan is IE. Why not switch to Firefox or Opera and be done with it?
