If you have a BHO that is infected with or is a virus/trojan, can't you just remove/delete that file from the downloaded program files folder?
Everything I see says to use Hijack This or a similar program. But why can't you just delete the dang file yourself, assuming of course that it isn't an important file?

Browser Helper Objects

Resist the temptation to close your request for help with semantically-null questions like “Can anyone help me?”
