if it has been left unattended online (even with a firewall) it could
have been compromised.  and yes the only to make sure that there are
no trojans there is to disconnect it from the network, reformat and
reinstall.

even if there are sniffer sniffer's out there there are sniffer
anti-sniffers too like dsniff (thanks to people like dugsong who
demonstrated that even a switch or snort is foolproof).

so better safe than sorry. reformat.
