If you're using XP then you should be able to do a system restore from a checkpoint. IIRC, there are regular checkpoints even if you haven't manually backed the system up. I find this is the quickest way.
Obviously, this will only be of use when using a checkpoint before the malware was downloaded...
Any one know off any really good trojan remoavl software. Kids have manged to get a backdoor trojan in to pc.

Trend Micro is an industry leader in anti-virus protection. You can have your PC scanned online by one of their servers using their housecall service - it's free.
When you've sorted it, please either buy a reputable anti-virus software package or if you alreay have one, keep the anti-virus definitions up to date. Oh, and kill your kids.
I used Kaspersky and it fixed my Pandex Trojan problem... you can download a free trial version of the AV and use that to rid the system of the trojan.
I haven't found one product that does all.
What are the symptoms and details and I can tell you how to remove it manually.
Paddy,
Have tried to system restore but unsure when it downloaded will be restoring again going back 2 months. But unsure whether I will still have the problem after this.
Symptoms are machine slowing down and appears to crash when virus checkers locate it. According to checkers it is a malacious programme trying to access my information. Virus checkers are telling me it is a 'bearshare' virus (malwarew). Currently running the following
stinger
avg
sophos
norton (appears to find it but crashes at that point)
Both avg and sophos have found it but machine crashes before I can get to it.
If you can give me any help it will be appreciated.
