I had downloaded this file that was sent to me on an instant message by my friend. I opened it then Norton antivirus notified me that I had a virus called Trojan.elitebar. When I started my computer up my wallpaper had been changed, my toolbars deleted, my settings changed, and a window that says 6arab4 pops up when i connect to the internet. I also have this program pokapoka69 which I can't locate. Please tell me how to get rid of this.
