First, what trojan? Second, if there's no typos, in your Subject: line. I'd say, that's a problem right there. "Iexplore.exe", is the proper windows file, and spelling. Third, what told you, you have a trojan, and where is it located, exactly? c:\, d:\(fill in the rest) thanks.

It would help to know why you think you have a trojan, what detected it, and what was detected...but since I don't see that info we'll just proceed anyway

Just for grins you might let TDS-3 have a look at your system if you are having trojan fears.

this is a two step process:

First download and install TDS-3
TDS-3


Then follow this link to get the latest Radius file update for TDS-3. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS YOU SEE ON THAT PAGE TO APPLY THIS UPDATE.
Update Radius Database

When you open TDS-3, it will perform a quick scan. Even if it detects nothing with this quick scan, you should still perform a more thorough scan. Please select System Testing > Normal Scan in the TDS-3 Control Console.

You may see results in the “alarms” column such as “Positive Identification”. Use TDS-3 to delete any confirmed threats. Right-click on any of the listed items to see a list of actions you can take. If in doubt about alarms such as “Suspicious File” ask for help or leave it alone. If the threat is part of a running process TDS-3 will ask for permission to terminate the process before attempting to remove the threat. Just let TDS-3 do its work.

NOTE: If your virus scanner or other program detected a threat as “X” name, TDS-3 may not detect it by the same name. THIS IS COMMON BETWEEN DIFFERENT VIRUS/TROJAN SCANNING UTILITIES.
