More details on what the virus does (eating away your computer is vague at best), and maybe even how you caught it would be nice. Also how have you verified that it is, in fact a trojan? What tools have you used to attempt its removal?

My executable files are gone. I am sure I have a virus but I am not sure what to do.

According to my point of view the trial period of your anti virus is expiry.
You should update the anti virus. Or remove the previous antivirus from control panel and install new antivirus. Install the Avast Anti virus. Avast is best antivirus.
