How can you tell when you have completely gotten rid of a trojan or virus?

I had a trojan or virus in my archives and had to practically fight for my life. And it seems that I have gotten rid of it but I don’t want to take a chance.

    Use different antivirus softwares like free AVG, Mcaffe online etc.
    After that use spyware & adware software like Spybot, lavasoft adware etc.

    Only download them from the main site.

    A Trojan horse, or trojan for short, is a term used to describe malware that appears, to the user, to perform a desirable function but, in fact, facilitates unauthorized access to the user’s computer system. The term comes from the Trojan Horse story in Greek mythology. Trojan horses are not self-replicating which distinguishes them from viruses and worms. Additionally, they require interaction with a hacker to fulfil their purpose. The hacker need not be the individual responsible for distributing the Trojan horse. It is possible for hackers to scan computers on a network using a port scanner in the hope of finding one with a Trojan horse installe.
