Trogan Horse

[The Outrage]

Well a couple weeks back, my computer's firewall has been alerting me of an attempted attack by a Trin00 DDoS Torjan Horse (atleast once a day) threough a remote access computer. My firewall/antivirus was about to expire so I went and bought a new one. Of course to install it I had to uninstall the old one, leaving my computer free to an attack. The new Norton Internet Security has been installed, but that virus has not made any attempts at attacking. Now if it just kept on trying to attack, I would not be worried at all, because I know that it's not getting in, but no such warning has appeared leaving me to believe it is already inside. How do I find out if it is already in my system? It is my understanding that these things mascarade as harmless programs.

Have you run a virus scan since installing the scanware? That would, more or less, tell you if you have a problem. If you have, and it didn't find anything, then you've probably got nothing to worry about.

Well upon initial instalation, the Norton internet security gave a high risk alert, and prompted me to scan so I did. The only thing it seems to have found were a lot of cookies.

Well i don't know if this next thing is a cause of a virus or the Internet security, but I am unable to right click to open links in new tabs on internet exploroer, it opens in a new window instead, although holding CRTL + Clicking the link usually does it.
