*huh?* (this is almost too sweet to be true...)

Tina... (wraps arm around shoulder) do you realize what a compromise is?
That when you have something running on your system that shouldn't be
there it is a sign that your server has been compromised? (pat-pat-pat)

Let me ask you a few simple questions...
1) What was the Trojan?
2) Who put it there?
3) How did they put it there?
4) What did it do while it was there?
5) How did you take it out?
6) What did you do to prevent anyone from putting another one in there?

Now, if any answer to any of the above 6 *simple* questions is "I dunno"
or it's equivalent, you have a server that should be considered
compromised.
