First I would get rid of the spam in your spam inbox. That way when you get the infection taken care of you don't risk re-infecting yourself... When you get rid of that e-mail, then you can rescan with your antivirus and get rid of it. Trojans are sometimes hard to get rid of and your antivirus probably will not work effectively with getting rid of a trojan; I might be wrong though. I would run spybot seach and destroy, and ad-aware (not to be confused with adware, which IS malware in general). Adaware offers a free version that does everything except real-time protection. Make sure you click on the free version. They will want you to buy it but you still get all the features you're gonna need. Try that and we'll see how it turns out...
