Yes, it's clean... I spent over 3 hours with "norton" attempting to take control of my computer to remove the trojan. everytime they got close, they were booted out! (amazing how much a trojan can do!)
In the end I removed Norton antivirus and installed McAfee.. which did catch and remove the trojan.
I also had it checked by a professional just to make sure.. but it is gone!
thank you!
What I was thinking was with the edu. ending on that email it could have been from a college or educational site that had been hijacked. (slim possibility, but still possible)
