Do you have anti-virus software installed, with the latest updates? If not you can probably download trial versions. Also, you should get a firewall that can control outbound and inbound traffic (such as the free, and really good, zonealarm - www.zonealarm.com).

As for From the McAfee site: "A Trojan horse program is a malicious program that pretends to be a benign application; a Trojan horse program purposefully does something the user does not expect. Trojans are not viruses since they do not replicate, but Trojan horse programs can be just as destructive.
Many people use the term to refer only to non-replicating malicious programs, thus making a distinction between Trojans and viruses
." Often, a trojan horse will be used as a sort of special backdoor that enables someone else to access your computer without your knowlegde.
