I have recently installed a Trojan virus on my computer through this site: http://camstudio.org/ .

I already have my Mcaffee anti-virus on it, but then I had 2 hidden files on my desktop both called desktop.ini so I know the trojan virus still isn't gone. Please tell me anything that I can do to get rid of this monster program. I payed $600 for this laptop and I don't want to waste it! Please help!!
