If the trojan is located only there, it's OK, because you can simply delete the program. First of all, go to Tools - Folder Options - View, and make sure Show hidden files and folder radio-button is checked. If it's not, check it, and click OK. Temporarly deactivate BD real-time protection, and manually delete the installer. Be carrefull not to execute it, or you will get infected. Don't forgett to re-activate BD real-time protection afterwards.

Best regards, Andrei.

Also, Torrent101 and the likes (WinZix, etc) are fake, barely working programs created only to trick users into installing adware etc. If you need a Torrent client, use uTorrent (free, both as money and from malware).
