If you could re-phrase the above as:

Just browsed on over to Bootdisk.com and the Antivirus which I use, which is xxxxxxxx, thinks it has 3 viruses, one of them being a Trojan.

It would be easier to understand if the virii are actually there or if your Antivirus is a bit "oversensitive" and is producing a false alarm.

Here is a VirusTotal Analysis of one of the files, copylock.zip:

And this is what NortonWeb has to say:

Really? Copylock detects as a replacer trojan? Seeing how the description is 'will replace in-use and system files' its shocking that it would detect as a malicious tool that performs a similar function, albeit surreptitiously. And revealpw showing as a hacktool gets my same feigned amazement.

Trend Micro corporate also detects Revelation v2 as a hacktool, and frankly it is. I had it in a folder we use for emergency repair. Every time we'd go to update, Trend would delete it off the USB key. It also tried to delete it from the network share too but it got denied. Eventually I had to configure it not to scan network shares. It was quite annoying.
