Can someone help me get it off? I have used multiple spyware removal programs to no avail. i just got hijack this but don't know how to use it.

Thank You!!

if you don't know how to use HJT, then don't :-)

please post more info ... like the 'different trohan names'

and use this program for a scan

Disable system restore then as Mattie says download , install, and update Ewido Anti-Malware ,
then download ATF Cleaner
then boot to safe mode then run Atf Cleaner then Ewido
Then when you reboot to normal mode re-enable your system restore

Also to disable system restore , right click on my comp. then properties then choose the system restore tab
Then check in "Turn Off System Restore"
This will delete all restore points and this is where a lot of Crap likes to embed themselve so they can regenerate over and over

Also you can run this Trojan Remover in safe mode also But Ewido should do the trick

I'm never too hasty on killing my restore points. Unless I KNOW that the files are located in there and the scans should tell you where they are located
