DO NOT JUST DELETE IT!!!! u will regret that.
i have never specifically heard of "trojan dropper", but on norton'* website there should be a patch to remove it... just look up the name.
btw i would disconnect that pc from the internet untill u got the problem fixed. and u need to figure out who gave u the trojan, dont download anything from that person again.... a trojan is used to allow someone remote access to your pc without your permission.

I think you got what I had...seriously bad stuff. Mine just kinda slowed down my computer and was a general annoyance but I had no luck finding a way to get rid of it. Running the online virus scan (I got the link from a couple guys on here...Sol, maybe was one) worked for a bit. I ended up doing the great reformat which of course solved the problem.
