For the last couple of days, I have noticed something odd on my computer. Whenever I open internet explorer or firefox, I get redirected to search.entru.com/?s=21983. After a quick Google search, I now realize that this is a Trojan that can seriously damage my computer. Some of the effects of this infection is slow computer performance, taskbar warnings, annoying popups system crashes, and so on. However, aside from a new homepage, I have not noticed anything else. Acouple of days ago, a home group icon appeared on my desktop and I could not remove it. However, during my search to get rid of it, the icon disappeared.
Should I be worried about this? How can I get rid of it?

Also, I do have Norton on my computer, and on the full system scan, it reported nothing was there.
