lol I would just re-format my computer if I were him, that would get rid of the virus. Also, he needs to download Nortons Anti-Virus and run a scan on his computer once a week to make sure no more viruses occur in the future,

it sucks.... Anyway, find the name of the trojan, do some research on it, then delete the files before after you disable their startup!

You should contact a Technical Support line of some sort.  There's probably a number somewhere in your instructions that you can call and see if they can help you with it at all.
