Ok, well, a little research finds the following

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/backdoor.trojan.html

"Backdoor.Trojan is a generic detection for a group of Backdoor Trojan
Horses. All the Trojans detected as Backdoor.Trojan have one thing in
common: they allow unauthorized access to an infected computer."

This really isn't an MS issue but ...

If you can figure out the actual name of the virus or trojan, that would
really help to resolve your issue.

When you say you have done everything you know to resolve this, what exactly
have you tried?

Usually, the trojans that I have seen normally appear in the temp internet
folder. So what you can do is the following and see if the error comes up
again.

Open Internet Explorer --> then click on "Tools" then "Internet Options"
then in the "Temporary Internet files" section, click on "Delete Files" and
"Delete Cookies". Then click on "Settings" then "View Objects" then select
all files and delete. Close that window and click OK twice. Restart your
machine as per normal and see if the error message comes up again.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Franksta.
