A carrot always helps.. how do you know this? do have anvi program telling you? if so then follow its instructions on how to remove it.. every trojan is different

As there are hundreds of varieties of Trojans, more info would be helpful to help identify it and there for give specific instructions on how to remove it. As a general type of cleanup , download the trial of Trojan remover( http://tinyurl.com/2kqq ). Install it, update it and then restart into safe-mode ( http://tinyurl.com/yw4rr ). Thats when you run Trojan remover for best removal.

.... antivir should do the trick if not (and if you are confident) try hijack this.

Even lamen must realise complex Q's require Some background.Don't tempt me into sending you on a wild goose chase. I can't suggest what it might be cos it might not be,but I'll bet this 1 Win32.VB.fi.Whatever-Google it.

How do I find out what the name is? Norton said I had a trojan horse but couldn't fix it.

Try a free online scan http://housecall65.trendmicro.com/

Norton sometimes gives false alarms But if thats all you have Trend Micro /Housecall can identify after an on line scan,but also won't remove.Good for a second opinion though.

#3 is probably the best solution, or download Spybot, http://tinyurl.com/37t9f ,not sure what you current product will think of them,..lol

Trojan horse droppings?

LOL.... Leebrett, symptoms of Trojans vary from noticing nothing to causing BSOD's. My advice in 3 above will determine (and cleanup) a Trojan if you have one.

If I leave it what will happen?

I have AVG plus firewall installed. It picked up a trojan a couple of years ago and moved it into the virus vault automatically, where I deleted it. I have found that AVG plus firewall is much better than the free version. $66.00 nzd for 2 years. Cheap insurance. Best of luck.
