I was playing a game and all of a sudden I have a thing warning me of malware attacks and I have files named Trojan (God the forget?) and I want to know what a Trojan is and Malware attacks are and how can I fix this stuff.

Was it a certain anti-virus, or was it something that you've never heard of and popped up randomly? Because alot of viruses actually make it look like it found viruses, and when you "Scan and remove them" it just installs more viruses.
:O!

The malware didn't come from the game.

It was likely dormant in your PC so you wouldn't know where it came from.

Steambirds is a game you do not have to buy or download and that's the first smart thing in this thread, but what is a Trojan?

A citizen of Troy! :D

And or a harmful piece of software that is disguised to look safe. It gets onto your computer, one way or another, and accesses files it shouldn't. That's the extent of my knowledge on this. :o

and so you post a thread about it while it's thrashing away at your computer files

real smart
