I've been having some minor irritations with my computer, the waiting egg-timer thing keeps appearing and I keep getting a dll error dialog saying there has been an error in the dynamic link library Kernel32 and then the path to the file (usually when I open the browser).
I ran Microsoft AntiSpyware programme. It found two trojan horses, one with a high threat and the other with a severe threat. I got rid of them using the software and re-booted my computer but to no avail the same symptons are there.
Anybody got any idea?

Cheers
Grouch.

Go and download SpySweeper from www.webroot.com you can get a 30 day free trial.

SpySweeper really is the daddy for anti-spyware.

Lavasoft AdAware is pretty good too....
No piece of software will ever detect 100% of spyware though

Also might be worth getting a virus checker if you say you are getting trojans? Grisoft (www.grisoft.com) do a free one, if I remember correctly?!
