Answer 2

I have a Trojan Horse on my computer too. I got it set as my Desktop Image! :-p
Oh! You mean a Virus type Horse. You have a few options and you not give much information.
1. If, you have Windows XP then try a system restore back before you got the Trojan. Be AWARE that any programs you installed after the restore date may be remove, but, any Documents or Pictures will be OK.
2. Run a Virus Scan to remove.
3. If, you know the name, you can search and find how to manually remove or ask here telling us the name.
Below a link to Microsoft tell how to do a system restore if you need it.

Answer 3

You don't say what the trojan is, and there are so many of them it's impossible to guess. But antivirus programs do not generally get rid of trojans, which isn't actually a virus. The best I can suggest is to get SpyBot and Ad-Aware, both free from download.com. Download and install them, then immunize your computer in spyBot before running a full bot check. Remove everything it finds by using the Fix Selected Problems. In Ad-Aware, run a full system scan. thereafter keep both of these updated and run them often, once or twice a week to keep your computer free of trojans, spyware, malware, etc.
