Depends on the trojan. The people that write these things stay up to date on program suites such as McAffee and Norton and constantly write trojans, viruses, etc. that can defeat them. This is why constant updates are necessary... McAffee should generally be able to detect the trojan, but it might fail to be able to remove it. Nastier trojans generally require specific steps to remove, which vary depending on the trojan. |

Trojans are nasty nasty things. Creators of such things should be casterated with a dull butter knife.

I wouldn't let them off that easy.
Such people are barbarians at the gates. The very idea that anyone would dare to defile and vandalise the internet is little short of sacrilege. |
