Spybot is good and definately worth a go. There are a number of online scanners that can be used.

Spywareblaster is more of a preventative tool but worth installing once youve sorted your problems out.

Bare in mind most spyware software will down load harmless spyware when you down load the demo software just so when you do a scan, it brings it up.

A Trojan is a virus anyway isn't it?

Try AVG Free and run a scan, that should get rid of the trojan.
