How to remove Websearch.wonderfulsearches.info?

Last week my laptop suffered from a catastrophe. My antivirus program reported that my system was infected by a Trojan horse called Websearch.wonderfulsearches.info, but it couldn’t completely get rid of this threat. My computer becomes very slow now and I still cannot figure out how to deal with this nasty Trojan horse. I am worried that my online banking account details would be captured by this Trojan horse. Can anyone help me out?

At the same time, it downloads a lot of malicious files to the hard drives, especially in the C drive. This Trojan horse will also corrupt your files and documents and it can also infect your emails. Besides, it will display many ads and pop-ups on your computer screen and the web pages you are viewing.
