you have a very strange idea of what trojans are... trojans are simple
programs and are not very hard to write at all, they are most certainly
not viruses (trojans do not self-replicate) and the only reason they're
harder to catch is that there are so many simple trojans that one can
possibly make... an install.bat with a simple single line command could
be made that would be a trojan...
... the "any" key is that red button by the power switch...
