try ad-aware or AVG. they actually work
Phony alert boxes on your screen or "balloon" pop-ups from the tray (by the clock) about a trojan, virus or spyware infection and the attempt to sell you some useless software to "fix" the problem usually indicates that your computer has one of two kinds of infection. Either Smitfraud or Vundo. Of course your TrojanDownloader.Xs alerts are phony.
DO NOT BUY THE PRODUCT THEY TRY TO SELL YOU! IT IS SCAM.
Almost all "general purpose","all-in one" spyware and virus removal programs such as Adaware 2007, Norton, McAfee or Spybot S & D cannot remove Smitfraud or Vundo. A specialised removal tool will be needed. A good removal tool that specialises in removing these 2 types of infections is RogueRemover Free:

After running RogueRemover, to clean-up any remaining infection traces, scan for trojans,
and spyware etc and remove (free online scan, no downloaded program) with Ewido Online Scanner ( now known as AVG Anti-Spyware). This is NOT the same as AVG Anti-Virus. Press "Scan your computer now online and clean it for free!" on the left.
