use a virus scanner. AVG Free Addition is a great choice.

get any free anti virus prog or trojan scanner, at the least you want to find out the name of this trojan virus..because then you just have to google the name and find a site that provides removal instructions

Also, "The Trojan" is not a good way to describe this virus, as there are many different types of trojans. One of the most common, is the "netsky.W@32" (I think thats the order of all the symbols) and it had a high point in which it was circulated in emails. I used to get ten of those a day from people I didn't know saying, "Oh, is this your document?" or, "OMG quick look at this its teh r0x0r5!!11!!1!!!1!!1!!!!!!!1!!!11"

Just remember don't open atachments from people you don't know. (Especially those who say, "Is this your document?" and get you to open an executable file.)

I recall once even getting a virus from a "broken image". Seems you can get virii from just about anywhere nowadays. When will the net truly be safe?

In the English language, the normal plural of "virus" is "viruses". This form of the plural is correct, and used most frequently, both when referring to a biological virus and when referring to a computer virus. The forms "viri" and "virii" are also used as a plural, although less frequently. There is disagreement over whether these forms should be considered correct.


i thought that kinda interesting (google search). u must be uber educated or something :)
