The Trojan.Sinkin is thought to be an ad-aware program, but is being labeled as a virus. I have it on this computer, and I have removed it, it no longer changes my Homepage, or AOL Info, but I still cannot search with any search engines. IE google, yahoo, msn. I have heard it is fairly easy to remove, but I am having extreme difficulty getting it out.
