while connected to broadband internet, this trojan horse is dtected by my
McAffee anti virus which deletes file svchost2.exe and in turn disconnects me
from the internet. After re-entdering my connection details via new
connection I can reconnect for a short time and then trojan horse again
eappears and is blocked. Both my McAffee ans Trojan Hunter programmes block
and isolate the trojan but it keeps coming back. Any ideas on how to cure
permanently

Make sure your McAfee AV has the most current virus definitions and then
do a thorough scan in Safe Mode. To get to Safe Mode, repeatedly tap
the F8 key as the computer is starting up - this will get you to the
proper menu.

After you've scanned for viruses, it would be smart to also scan for
non-viral malware with free programs like Ad-aware and Spybot Search &
Destroy. Install these programs, update them, and scan in Safe Mode.
