RE: trojans :( (another problem)
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!
