Here's what I did..."try at your own risk": The Trojan notepad.exe is a bogus, so I simply deleted it. You may have to cut/paste to your desktop in order to delete it. Now do a search for notepad.exe on your C: drive. Or you may have to search manually. After you have found the "real" notepad.exe open a notepad document. Windows will say it cannot locate notepad.exe because the Trojan had windows configured to open the bogus notepad to the shortcut, and you have deleted it. Simply click browse and direct windows to the "real" notepad.exe...That's it. Windows will configure the shortcut back to the real notepad.
