Apparantly my virus protection has been outdated for awhile and i hadn't known.Just download AVG. It is free and I have had no problems with it.
But one thing I am dying to know, how did you get 175 trojans on your computer :?. I couldn't even do that if I tried.

AVG!! http://free.avg.com/ww.download-avg-anti-virus-free-edition
I used Norton for it, It found stuff Norton couldn't get! And I had to PAY to use Norton! :evil:
You also need spyware protection, I can't find the home website anymore (which is bad, a lot of people came up it would be funny to imitate them and they made fake websites with the same name to try to tick you such as 'spywarebot'. It is %100 free so download it NOW! http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html

Trojan is like aids for your computer, it spreads and multiples and downloads more trojans.
disconnect from the internet.

What this guy said. download BOTH AVG and Spybot S&D, update, then disconnect from the Internet and restart so the updates can take effect. (You could be getting you Trojan from Spyware.) Do a full system on your computer not just once, but 2 or 3 times because the Trojan may have already multiplied by the time you finished scanning. Then scan with Spybot 2 or 3 times until you get all the spyway (If anything) then then AVG again, then spybot again. repeat until everything it's all gone.
avg is better than norton.freshgmanThe problem with Norton is that virus makers use that and McAffee as "tests" to see if it'll be detected.
A lot of people have recommended AVG, and it is pretty good. If you don't mind paying, get the best: Eset's NOD32 is almost unstoppable.
Ad-Aware and Spybot are also excellent programs, and I might also suggest downloading Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, which has become an integral part of my "virus hunting" toolkit.
Of course, I think the person who suggested wiping the drive had it right. Back up any critical files, then download DBAN and let it run its course.

macs suck
Therefore get linux.
my thoughts exactly
hahaha thats the price to pay when you go onto porn sites and download porn movies. you have 2 options.
1. download a free virus scanner or go out and buy one [your best bet is to go into safe mode and scan that way]
2. reformat your computer and lose everything saved on your hard drive, you can back them up but that takes awhile.
download ESET NOD32, a fantastic piece of software, incredibly reliable, very effective, minimal resource hog and has lots of advanced feature. Im imagining you are willing to pay for better protection. i would know seeing as i am a heavy internet user and i havnt had a single problem since i installed it
