Trojan Horse Removal

I have Norton AntiVirus for Mac which runs a full scan once a month. My recent scan shows 4 trojan horses all with the same name in the Java/Cache/6.0/33 file. Norton is unable to remove, quarantine or fix these. I've Googled the virus and no results show up so I don't know if this is a true Tojan Horse or a problem with Norton detection. I have Apple Care so can take the laptop in to the Apple store but not sure if it's necessary yet. The laptop does connect to a wireless drive at my office that is Windows based. Any ideas are welcome - Thanks.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

OK, Boot Camp is one method of getting Windows to run on a Mac. That would work, but remember if your husband is running a game, you will not be able to use the Mac at the same time.

Boot Camp is included as part of the installation and Boot Camp Assistant can be found in the Utilities folder inside Applications. That will guide you through the installation, but you still need a licensed copy of Windows.

Every time I think I got it there is something new... OK. I need to ask you one last question.
I have been researching which version of imac 24" to buy. I'm looking for a used... 07-09 and noticed that most of them have similar specs but the things that was different was RAM, speed, type of mega pix, and other numbers that I really don't know what it means. The worse problem was that I look them up and compare but when the systems been tweaked with different upgrades, it didn't match the original specs. With most people giving vague model number which always have two very similar type... even confused me more. SO, this is my question.

Please tell me... out of these all the 24" in the last 2,5 yrs which would my husband be most happy with? and what are the numbers that or RAM ect... should I consider to be most important? and how can I tell if I'm paying a good price? I also noticed that the cost of the older models were higher and newer models with same or better was cheaper on the original price. Hence, if the seller is considering the resale price on what he paid for it is not relevant.

HELP!

In my opinion, you go for the best you can afford (and if you are intending to run Boot Camp, make sure it is an Intel processor - the 2.4GHz is OK). The best also includes more RAM: 2G or 4G would be better.

As a note, if you are intending to run Windows on the Mac, that part of the installation will be liable to viruses and the like, and should be protected. The OS X part will be OK.

I do not like the idea of buying a used computer so feel unable to offer any suggestions here: too many potential problems, particularly if you are not sure.

Coco, if you are going to dual boot you may even want to consider Linux over Windows. It's free and if you and if you put time into learning it, you can get it to emulate Windows so that you can run most Windows Applications. It's better than Windows because like OS X it is more secure and you don't have to worry about those annoying viruses and malware programs.
