Try going to http://housecall.antivirus.com which is Trend Micro antivirus
on a web page. It may be able to remove it. If it cannot remove it but you
have gotten a name for the Trojan, then yes, you may have to look up that
virus name at the virus encyclopedia on the web site for that antivirus
manufacturer or at www.sarc.com to get manual removal instructions or a
special removal tool.

I have yet another virus can anyone tell me how to prevent them or how togetrid of it.
Norton 2005 doesn't get rid of it.
Last time I had one i had to format my H.D.
I didn't see the beginning of this thread, but here are general malware/virus removal steps. I don't recommend going to online scanners unless there is no other alternative. Everything I recommend is free.
Go through these general malware removal steps systematically - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware
Include scanning with either Sysclean or Multi_AV, plus AVG Anti-Spyware (formerly Ewido - http://www.ewido.net/en/) and follow instructions to do all scans in Safe Mode.
When all else fails, run HijackThis and post your log in one of the specialty forums listed at the link above (not here, please).
Standard caveat: If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA). Please be aware that not all local shops are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. Have all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.
And since the OP says s/he has "another virus", s/he should consider practicing "Safe Hex":
