download Avast! Free Home Edition.
When its installed, let it scan your computer on restart.
it takes a while, and you have to watch it. but it works good.

Avast, AVG and AntiVir are all good and all free. I use AntiVir and it seems to clear things up okay.
Only install one though. More virus checkers actually messes your computer up.
Don't forget that you need a spyware remover too, I recommend Spybot S&D.

AVG would be best, but if you;re dealing with trojans, you're going to need a lot more than a freeware anti-virus program. Trust me, I've had to deal with trojans before (it was porn, I admit it), and while downloading AVG helped, it was only until I'd turned my PC inside out that I got rid of them.
avira by antivir. had it for years, been attacked many times and it has never failed.

Avira, Panda Cloud Antivirus, AVG
Avira is the best in my opinion, though sometimes if you already have the virus it might be too late. It's worth a shot, but if it doesn't get rid of them you'll probably have to reinstall windows.
I heard avast! was shit, and AVG doesn't really do that great of a job. It gets the really bad obvious ones, though, and it never really bothers you. Avira will popup a window every 24 hours or so asking you if you want to buy premium, and Panda Cloud does something like that too though I forget to what extent.

AVG, best free one around as far as I'm concerned, However I do recommend Kaspersky as a security suite, but you have to pay for it, worth it though.
Spybot S&D is a very good anti-spyware, team that with AVG you've a free force to be content with.
