Run a full (Not Quick)scan with Malwarebytes:
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
Get the MS Malicious software tool and run it as well.
That's a veyy old Trojan, so I'm not sure how you got it.
I'd uninstall McAfee completely and keep MSE.

I am running Win 7, Dell 54 Studio and somehow someway, this McAfee
didn't 
knock me from getting this trojan. I called Dell, but software will 
charge me to get rid of it or either I have to pay 239.00 for 1 year to
software 
for the coverage. I only have hardware coverage which doesn't cover it, 
and the guy at Dell refused to help me do a recovery saying even if I
did a 
recovery, it wouldn't get rid of the virus.
The link I clicked on said it was safe with a green check of McAfee and 
Firefox's WOT.... so I dont know was I got it if said it was safem and
which 
are the best free anti-viruses can I download so I wont get getting one
of 
these again.
 
Want I can read of them so far is:
 

Trohan Horse IRC/backdoor.SdBot4.FRV
_W32.Yaha.B@mm_ (mailto:W32.Yaha.B@mm) 
_W32.Nimda.J@mm_ (mailto:W32.Nimda.J@mm) 
Adware.Win32.Look2me.ab
Trojan.Qoologic - Key Logger 
 
There appears to be more that is below the line I can't read. I have
done 
two full scans on McAfee, and Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee
found 
what I wrote down, but am unable to find anything about it on Google
search 
or Microsoft either. Its Artemis!055CE7AA179 
 
I also uninstalled Firefox, then reinstalled it cause every time I open 
it, it opens up about 1 1/2 " square and when I pull it down, it has all
the 
above written on it and whatever wants me to install something to get
rid 
of it. But I didn't know if that was something that might invade this 
computer further or what so I never did. I have run several more scans,
and it 
keeps saying it's clean... yet when I open Firefox, it will say the same

thing as above only that 2 inch square. 

McAfee said it was quarantined, but when I try to open Firefox it has
all 
those viruses showing. I have searched on Microsoft for some tool to get

rid of it, but can't find any. Harriet
