That sucks...
Trend Micro's on-line scan is here. It will want to download a small file to operate...it's OK, I have used it for years. Check the "Auto-Clean" box and let er rip.
Symantec's page is here.
Another good spot is pcFlank's trojan scanner here.
One of these spots should kill the Trojan or at least tell you how. Use the scanners to verify removal. If you are running XP disable system restore. Let me know if you have anymore problems.

Ok, after 4 1/2 hours of scans, D/L'ding new AV software, running tests on my firewall I finally (Manually) track this sucker down.
I have a folder called "My music" and in that file is almost 400 songs (With a few short porns ;D) one of these porns was infected (Go figure...LOL)...I scanned the "My music" folder and up came the infected file, my options where to run the AVG AV (Which picks it up but does nothing with it) or delete that bastard myself. Befor I realised what I was doing I deleted it and emptied the recycling bin....along with my 400 songs
My question is if I do a systems restore will that folder and all the songs come back?...I dont care about the virus at this point because its only function is to dial 900 numbers and that cant be done on a cable modem, plus its way low risk virus from what I read
Anyone?
................................jonny
Oh ya, I D/L'ed PC-cillin AV and even that didnt pick up the trojan.

The songs aren't gone until they are written over. The best way is to use a boot disk recovery program but you will need to down load it. Do you have the songs in the same partition as windows, if so they may already be gone, it not then I would try restore since it should only write to the C drive. I am not a windows expert but I know you can restore a deleated driver on xp using restore ( I have done it) Until then try not to use your computer until someone can help you. Do you have a back up or a recient disk image? See if you have an undeleate utility on a rescue boot disk that you have made or that came with the computor. It may be a CD-rom. That would be the safest way.
Hope this helps in some small way,

jonny, there are programs that can recover deleted files.
Actually, deleting a file just overwrites the 1st character in the directory entry and returns the disk space to the free pool.
But as long as the diskspace occupied originally by the deleted file is not over written by something else, recovery can sometimes be done.
Most important, don't write anything to the disk partition were the deleted files are. (Partitions are those thingies called C: D: E: ... in the Windows explorer.
Then go to http://skyscraper.fortunecity.com/amd/887/rescue/index.html and download Drive Rescue (freeware) install it on another partition and start recovering.
Good luck,
Ueli

D@mn, all that previous advice right out the door!! 
Now you gotta rely, (more like gamble) on system restore. System restore, may return your songs, (and the trojan) providing the parent directory and and sub directory(s) were undisturbed in the delete process. (maybe). All too often what you'll get is a folder with the files, now with slightly differing attributes, and therefore worthless, or a partial sub directory with some files, again worthless. But, as we say in Fla; "Even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then", and occasionally system restore actually restores something that works. I say give it a shot what have ya got to lose that you haven't already lost? You may get all your songs, you may get some, you may just get the trojan  . I say backup those files, and just in case I run Norton Professional, the "Full Ticket" AV, Firewall, and All Utilities, that way system restore is one gamble I don't have to make.

Sorry Ueli,
But the program is no longer freeware, I have been looking for my links for freeware recovery and cannot find any that are still freeware. The only one I have experience is Getbackdata which is $70 but it did a great job of restoring a partially reformated partition. It doesn't use a boot Disk so I had to Install windows to anouther HD to do the restoration. Anyway
Everyone repeat after me " I will Back up once a week" for a great freeware back up utility go here.
http://www.pb-sys.com/ and get task zip.
It doesn't span disks but it can run anytime you want, even at night.
