Try this:

It's an online virus scan program that works good.
Good luck.

Have you tried scanning with one of your anti-spyware programs?

AdAware has always worked for me... so far anyways. Do you know the name of the trojan yet ? That would be the place to start...
The AdAware 2007 rocks... it's really does. And, it's still free !
What Is Ad-Aware 2007?
Ad-Aware 2007 is the latest version of Lavasoft’s industry leading anti-spyware solution. Ad-Aware 2007 allows you to combat the growing threats and latest advancements of malicious spyware and malware.
Ad-Aware 2007 protects you from spyware that secretly takes control of your computer, resulting in aggressive advertising pop-ups, sluggish computer activity and even identity theft through stolen private information. We give you the tools to detect hazardous content on your computer, clearly identify their threat level, and then give you the ability to remove unwanted content, so that your private information remains right where it should - under your control.
Lavasoft’s advanced Code Sequence Identification (CSI) technology roots out deeply hidden malware and then searches for similar codes in order to identity emerging variants. Ad-Aware 2007 thoroughly scans your memory, registry, Hosts file, hard, removable and optical drives for known data-mining, aggressive advertising, parasites, scumware, keyloggers, trojans, dialers, malware, browser hijackers, and tracking components.
When downloading, follow directions for the FREE version.
Ad-Aware 2007 System Requirements (I have this running on one of my Windows 98SE 'puters even).
Processor: P600
RAM: Operating system + minimum 50 MB (100 MB recommended)
Hard Disk: 50 MB free space recommended
Operating Systems:
Windows XP (Home, Pro)

Oh, this may help... go to http://www.lavasoft.com/ and choose the AdAware FREE download...
It will also load Plus and Pro... but, only enough to run the FREE version, which is the trojan remover tool.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Yes I have scanned it with McAfee, Adaware, Avast and Housecalls. The alert was for pw trojan in c/windowssystem. All my passwords are at risk now so I do appreciate everyone's help.

You have scanned with the new AdAware 2007 ? I personally have not yet found a trojan that it won't remove.
Trend housecall is awesome for scanning, but, not a great trojan removal tool.
I would google the name of the trojan, and, see who's offering a removal tool for it. Try searching www.bleepingcomputer.com and see if they have a fix for it.
