Fighting trojans and other malware with so-called "anti-virus" apps. If your question rather is about some piece of malware itself, use the 'malware' tag instead.
Though there is not any known virus for Android, creators of anti-malware apps tend to call their solutions "Anti-Virus". There are several such anti-virus apps available for Android -- and this tag is for any issues you might have with any of them.
If your question is rather about the malware itself, please use the malware tag instead. More details on related tags can be found in the security tag wiki.
