I cleaned the file successfully. Is that all I need to do or is there further action needed to be ridded of this trojan.

No. But you may want to run a scan again, and also download AdAware and Spybot.
You may want to check further if you have a virus or trojan or worm or adware or some other sort of malware.
Run an AV scan, and download AdAware and Spybot, install them, update them, and run. Delete anything that looks suspicious. Some advise deleting everything because it's all reversible. Also get Spyblaster which keeps a list of bad stuff on your computer and blocks them from being installed (theoretically). Be sure your independent (not MS’s) firewall is enabled.
