I've been dealing with a Trojan horse on my PC for six months.
You've just completed a scan with AVG and found a trojan on your PC. A trojan is a type of malicious software designed to disguise itself as legitimate software, often stealing data or causing harm. You're right to be concerned even if you haven't noticed any issues yet. The malwarebytes scan detected 100 threats, which confirms the presence of malicious activity.
Before considering anything, upon seeing the title I felt like BRO.... Did you actually create a cardboard Trojan horse for your PC case? ;p
I’ll handle it right away or an advance of angry Greek men will storm your PC case and let their entire army take over your city.

Trojans resemble their legendary counterparts, being applications and programs crafted to mimic useful or appealing features. However, once downloaded, they often switch tactics to harm the user. Various kinds of Trojans exist: a Trojan Horse remains the most common, while others serve different purposes—such as downloading additional malware, stealing passwords and transmitting them to the developer, or taking control of your system to join a botnet for large-scale attacks. Trojans can also propagate quickly via the internet, spreading through worms, casual viruses, USB drives, CDs/DVDs, and emails. Because of these risks, Trojans are regarded as dangerous and should be eliminated promptly. I suggest performing a scan using Kaspersky TDSS killer, Malwarebytes, and AVG at maximum settings.
