Have you tried an online virus scanner ??

Some trojans can not be picked up by normal AV's

Superanti spyware and Spysweeper are pretty good programs. You can have more than one spyware program on your computer. Also if you have accounts online that you use..go to them and change your passwords. Good idea to change them ever so often anyway. That way if someone did get it before they won't have it when it is changed.

Also, if you feel your computer has been compromised post a thread in the Malware Removal & HijackThis Logs section and see if they can help you there.

Do not make multiple threads of the same thing...the security people frown on it. You would do better to click on the triangle to the right top corner of the post and let a security person know that no one has helped you...usually give them at least 24 hours to responsed as they are very busy. If you have posted more than once on the same thread then they see it as someone has answered your thread, so that is another reason just to post the first time and wait. Hope that helps and goodluck.
