Generic Trojan Horse Removal

Many of today's trojan horse variants are using the same method to hide from your antivirus software.  They hide in the recycling bin's folder structure.  This method will work for much of the modern trojan horse malware.  I have written this for a user with basic Windows experience, but I recommend getting help if you don't consider yourself to be an advanced user.  The common symptoms of this type of malware are, a slow system, browser re-directs, popups, and a resistance to anti-virus software.  You may also get periodic crashes, and even the dreaded blue-screen-of-death.
