1. Are you using a good anti virus product? Recommend AVG 7.5 Internet Security suite, you can get a free 30 day trial, see 1st link.
2. If your current anti virus solution is not finding or discarding the infection, suggest you switch. See 1st link.
3. Not much details provided as to which Horsey you picked up, or if it's just a pop-up trying to lead you to a deceptive ad..
4. AVG will clean you up and get you back on your way.
5. The first two respondents replied with a system restore. That should only be used in the event of a catastrophic failure.

This is a very vauge question with little infomation.
Do you have an antivirus scanner?
If so, is it detecting the trojan?
How do you know you have a trojan, it could just be adware saying you are infected trying to make you buy their trojan-infested product!
Try downloading and installing A-Squared free, it is very good at removing trojans.

Trojan Horse is one of several "rogue" programs famous for installing themselves so that they nag you continually and do not allow you to remove them.
Because they are not "virsuses", AVG and other virus scanners do not detect or remove them. Instead you need an anti-spyware program. Go to http:\\download.com and get the free Spybot Seek&Destroy program.
