Thanks.

But I honestly don't know what to do next. My version of Norton Anti Virus isn't supported, my yearly subscription is almost up, I have a trojan in quarrantine, and I was wondering if I can install new Norton disks. I'm sure I have adware on my computer, maybe spyware (who knows?), and my search button has been hijacked by a different search engine - I had MSN - with no way to switch it back. I've been invaded, but the computer's still working. And I don't like the look of the Firefox Browser (too busy).

I know enough to know I don't know what to do! Yikes!

Time for a new CPU, I think.

Found a website that might help, haven't used it before though:

Newbie Help Forum

Found it using google and " trojan in quarrantine, " phrase.

I'm no Windows expert, but try Lavasoft's AdAware. Be sure you go to http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ or http://www.lavasoft.de/. They have a free version you can download, which will find most of these pop up ads, spybots, and trojans. It is not an anti-virus tool strictly speaking, and it really should be used in conjunction with something like Nortons or McAfee, but it can be a big help in a pinch.
