Trojans are a type of computer virus, and yes, it's bad. It will infect more files and wreck your system. It will also spread to all of your friends, who will think that you are stupid or something.
You should work hard at fixing this. Update your anti-virus and run a full scan. You might have to REBOOT into SAFE MODE and run it again. Visit http://www.symantec.com and use SEARCH for the virus that your anti-virus software has found for instructions on how to REMOVE it.

a trojan horse is a program that says it does one thing like a game but does something else. antivirus may be able to delete them. these trojans can do just about anything, from pulling pranks to trashing your hard drive to giving the person who sent the horse unlimited access to your computer at any time. nornton antivirus is a very good software to detect, locate, and completely remove these trojans as well as other things such as viruses (a program that works normally but also does something else, such as a MS Word copy that runs ms word but also installs a malicious program) or a worm (exploits security holes in computer servers, destroys files, then email/transfers itself to other computers.) .

There are 10's of thousands of viruses out there. Some much worse than others. Depends on which anti-virus scan you have in your PC.
