I believe my mother picked one up while Christmas shopping online, because I’m being redirected to random websites often.
I tried installing Spyware Doctor from PC tools… It detected the Trojans and claimed to delete them, but I continue to see the same websites. When I run a new scan, it shows the same trojans, as if the program was not getting rid of them. Is there some program installed that I need to get rid of in a more detailed process?

try malwarebytes’ anti-malware, install it update then run a scan
spybot search and destroy is good too
try those things first…
Download, install and Run C Cleaner

A trojan horse is an executable program that is designed to disrupt or hijack applications on your computer. The reason why these programs are developed are often to initiate other attacks from more advance malware such as spyware.
You need to kill the process and the dll files attached to the trojan. You need to edit the msconfig and registry to stop it from loading startup. Here is a good tutorial:
