A trojan is not a virus, it is a program that is disguised as a different program (like a mp3 or something). When you open it, it runs and allows access to your computer from outside sources, downloading viruses,spyware, or whatever else it wants. Some disguise themselves as .dll files, which need to be deleted in safe mode. There are a few free programs to scan for them and other infections. I use Spybot Search and Destroy, and KasperSky antivirus, although there are many more.

you can get rid of those by running anti spyware, if you don't have one, you can download it here: http://www.2-spyware.com/review-spyware-doctor.html
yes, you can get be infected while playing online games. make sure you play on reputable website. and if you don't know if website is reputable or not, write its name on google. if you'll see the results like "i got infected on www.somegames454775.net" then it's malicious. it's always better to check in advance,
