Virus scanner. One of the best free ones out there. Worth a shot. If anyone knows better, post away.

Yep, you downloaded a trojan. Your PC is probably crawling with malware/adware, now.

I like to run a few different spyware programs. Sometimes different programs find different things.

Definitely download Adaware from Lavasoft, like said above. Also, download and install Windows Defender(assuming you're using a Windows PC).

TrendMicro also offers a really good free online virus scan utility on their website.

AVG & Avast are 2 good freeware Virus programs. that Spybot search & destroy is a good spyware remover. You run those scans you have or choose to use a few times. & come back & post on here & let us know if that takes care of it!
