Get anti-virus. Back up all yer data. Wipe drive and reinstall. Put back stuff back on Load antivirus. Update antivirus Pew pew interweb spaceships.
Note: You don't have to reinstall but some viruses keep popping back up like ebil little trolls. --

If you rate the OP to 1/10, your's must be 0/10.
OP, try googling for ad-aware. It's not anti-virus but can look through your PC for ebil files. You can get a free version of it, which doesn't have any realtime protection so you have to run it manually from time to time.
Best of luck

If you can play EVE, i think you can google and figure out how to get rid of a trojan.
Then again the EVE community has degraded a lot from when I first joined...

How do you know you have a trojan horse? You must be running some software that detects it - it should also have the functionality to scan and remove the offending item.
If thats not the case go to Adaware SE Free
and download the free software, that should take care of it.

He probably saw a small wooden horse in the lower right side of his screen. His system started acting funny when a bunch of midgets with swords popped out the horses backside. 
But seriously, get the free versions of AdAware and Spybot, update them and use them BOTH. For the most part their functionality and detection ability overlaps, but not completely, so consider them to complement each other.
Also, to beat a dead trojan horse, make sure you have a decent and up-to-date virusscanner. Decent means NOT McAfee (crap scanner and performance hog) or Norton (somewhat decent scanner but performance hog of titanic proportions).

Nice name. How did you find the trojan horse if not using AV software? It is cases like this where having faith in God makes the difference. Start praying!

download asquared antimalware, 30 day trial should be enought o get rid of your one horse.
trojans are far worse than viruses, and virus scanners dont really deal with them. you need anti malware type programs.
