Default Trojans and worthless Norton AntiVirus

I have a trojan on my main computer, Norton AntiVirus is aware of that, but it's crappy overprices software (they should team up with Microsoft) so it can't do anything about it. I can't go online or do anything on that computer, and I don't have a way of traveling files (such as a remover) from this computer to that one. The trojan is called Trojan.Vundo. Please help me someone.

Sorry if this isn't where this goes, I couldn't figure out where else this belonged.

do a TrendMicro and Panda online scan, or get the 30 day trial version and get it removed.

Okay, I figured out what to do if you have the same problem.

Step 1: Hit your computer as hard as you can, then get some ice for your fist.

Step 2: Reload the opperating system and all programs, you have just lost everything, I hope you didn't have anything important there.
