Hi friends,

A few days ago Harmento installed a Norton firewall on my computer (from 
a CD; it turns out that a good firewall for free, is hard to find these 
days on the net; the one I had, could also only be updated to a 30 day 
free trial; if.....I could give them a credit card number :( )

Though I have had not had an updated firewall for at least a month, no 
harmful attampts to access my computer were found by Norton, when first 
letting it run a check.
However, since the firewall is working, it gave already 4 alerts on high 
risk attempt to access my computer through a Trojan horse.
The IP numbers came from the UK (twice), the Netherlands and Portugal. 
After the last one it seems rather random. I know nobody in Portugal.

Norton sais that this could be caused by a virus, but not nessesarily.

I have AVG running a daily update and full scan now, and it has found no 
virusses for some time now. So that seems unlikely.

So.... I wonder.
What is a Trojan horse? Should I be worried about this? Is there a way 
to get rid of it?

Love,
Desi
