Where were the soldiers hidden in the Trojan horse?
The soldiers were hidden inside the hollow wooden structure of the Trojan Horse, which the Greeks constructed as a deceptive gift to the Trojans. They concealed themselves within the body of the horse, while the rest of the Greek army pretended to sail away. Once the Trojans brought the horse into their city, the hidden soldiers emerged at night, opening the gates for the rest of the Greek forces to enter and attack. This ruse ultimately led to the fall of Troy.

A Trojan Horse. Trojan Horse programs disguise themselves as legitimate programs and then infect your computer when you download them unwittingly, expecting to get a cool new PC game or such.

What you should do if you have a Trojan virus?
One note of correction: a Trojan or Trojan horse is "malware" not a "virus". A virus spreads independently while a Trojan requires you to intentionally install the software containing the hidden malware (the fact that the malware is hidden in an apparently legitimate piece of software is where it gets its name by analogy to the Trojan Horse of Greek Mythology).
If you realize you have a Trojan on your computer, you should go to the store and buy an anti virus kit or packet and install it. Nearly all good anti-virus programs will detect and clean up Trojans. A couple of caveats are in order however. Sometimes a Trojan will corrupt files such that they cannot be recovered. All the anti-virus can do is remove the Trojan and sometimesrepair affected files. When repair fails, your only recourse is to restore the corrupted files from a backup or reinstall the software that the corrupted files were part of in order to get back the uncorrupted files. A few Trojans can also contain boot-sector malware or rootkits. These are a good deal more difficult to detect and remove.
