Avoid professional help unless you just don't have the time to fix your computer yourself. If you are infected with a trojan, you most likely are infected with other types of nasty things also, like spyware, malware and adware. Use a good scanner to discover and attempt to remove them. Do a search on the internet for the name of the trojan to find out if there are specific removal tools for that type of virus. You can check out the free scanner below from F-Secure (a reputable source) that may help in your effort to remove all the nasties.
Good Luck

Run you security scan. If it is out of date you should subscribe to a new one which should block this sort of thing. I think what has happened happened to me a few years ago when I did not keep my own security system up to date. Nut cases invent many viruses each day so it is most important that you subscribe> the original lay out is about £50 which a subscription each year but I think you will find it worth it. There are many young computer buffs about and if you are close to a trusted teenager who knows about these things ask them. It may well be something very simple but get an anti-virus programme asap. Best wishes

trojan is a malicious program that can erase files or spy on your actions and send information to someone or do other illegal actions. if nod32 hadn't erased it, recommend you to get anti spyware and run a scan. you can try spyware doctor http://www.2-spyware.com/review-spyware-doctor.html
