Trojan viruses are one of the worst viruses you can get.

a Trojan horse is a program that contains or installs a malicious program (sometimes called the payload or 'trojan'). The term is derived from the classical myth of the Trojan Horse. Trojan horses may appear to be useful or interesting programs (or at the very least harmless) to an unsuspecting user, but are actually harmful when executed. (See Social engineering (security).)
Basically you probably downloaded something free and then the software executed malware.

This Trojan is new to me - click the link below & do a online scan - this program should show you the path so that you have some idea where it came from plus it should remove the Trojan.

You probably got it by downloading something. Be very careful what you download and open.Only open mail or pictures from those you personally know. Be careful what you open during IM also.
