This will be dependent on the network.

If you were infected with a trojan, then you're probably banned from the network for a period of time (which you should've been informed of) or you need to use the networks website to let them know that you have removed the trojan and that you would like back on the network again. (You should've been informed of this also, if this is the case).

My suggestion, since you haven't indicated which (if either) of the above responses you received, is to use the network's website, as attempting to connect to the network while banned can trigger a permanent ban for ban evasion.

this is the response it gives me when i connect

"Closing Link: 0.0.0.0 (You match the pattern of a known trojan, please check your system with a cleaner from http://www.moosoft.com or Swat-It from http://www.lockdowncorp.com/bots/downloadswatit.html)"

is there anything i can do? and the sites it gives me dont work.

There are a number of antivirus resources in this thread, you should use 2-3 of them to ensure you're virus/trojan free. It could be a poor algorithm being used to check the "trojan pattern". You can try changing your ident or full name if they contain odd characters or contain all capital letters (make it lowercase). Try avoiding the use of numbers too or anything that might appear "random".
