Go microsoft and/or McAfee and/or Symantec website to search for a cure/solution for each individual virus.
If no cure/solution is found in those three websites, then go any search engine (preferable google) to search for the cure/solution.
Trial products usually don't allow you to gain access to all of its features.
Some free products usually won't detect viruses and/or adwares and/or spywares and/or malwares that easly.

Yer, once before I downloaded the trial and it said I had to purchase it, so I had to get a crack, not saying that you should. (wink, wink)

If you want to install your Norton Internet Security, then forget about installing Zone Alarm. It's recommended not to install both Anti-virus on your machine. This wil cause conflict leading you to to have more trouble then you expect.
If you want to install Norton and have another scanner just to make sure that all of the viruses and/or adwares and/or spywares and/or malwares are found, do another scanning using the Free online Virus and/or Spyware and/or Adware and/or Malware scanner.
These online scanners are those that I usually use:
[*]Windows Live OneCare scanner
[*]Trend Micro Housecall
[*]Symantec Security Check
[*]Trend Micro Antispyware for web
[*]eTrust Antivirus Web Scanner
[*]McAfee Free Scan
These are the other online scanners:
[*]F-secure Online Scanner
[*]BitDefender Free Online Scanner
[*]Panda ActiveScan
Note: Some of these online scanners only support Internet Explorer.

on the main page of WLOneCare click on Protection. When the page is redirected to another page where you can see a button Protection Scan. Click on the button.
Follow the instructions given thereafter.

I suggest submitting the problem files to Virustotal.com. Virustotal will scan the files with ~30 top tier Anti-virus and Anti-spyware products and show you the results of each scanner. It is a very nice tool.
Here is the list of vendors that participate in VirusTotal:
* Aladdin (eSafe)
* ALWIL (Avast! Antivirus)
* Authentium (Command Antivirus)
* Avira (AntiVir)
* Cat Computer Services (Quick Heal)
* ClamAV (ClamWin)
* Computer Associates (Iris, Vet)
* Doctor Web, Ltd. (DrWeb)
* Eset Software (NOD32)
* ewido networks (ewido anti-malware)
* Fortinet (Fortinet)
* FRISK Software (F-Prot)
* Grisoft (AVG)
* Hacksoft (The Hacker)
* Ikarus Software (Ikarus)
* Kaspersky Lab (AVP)
* McAfee (VirusScan)
* Microsoft (Malware Protection)
* Norman (Norman Antivirus)
* Panda Software (Panda Platinum)
* Prevx (Prevx1)
* Softwin (BitDefender)
* Sophos (SAV)
* Sunbelt Software (Antivirus)
* Symantec (Norton Antivirus)
* UNA Corp (UNA)
* VirusBlokAda (VBA32)
* VirusBuster (VirusBuster)
If these vendors don't report the files are a problem and Stopzilla does, then I think the Stopzilla results are very suspect. There are a lot of "rogue" anti-spyware tools out there. Some even posing as legitimate tools. I have written an article on spyware that you may find helpful.
Good luck!

It is possible that this software you scanned with was just saying you had infected files to make them seem like better anti-virus so you'd buy the software... ¬_¬
Don't get pulled in. If no other AV detects it (as long as they are up to date), then there really shouldn't be much of a problem
