    I dont think It's a trojan... it's a game im trying to install a PC game
    of which i enjoy playing. the direct path is /home/sambie/Desktop/et-
    linux-2.55.x86.run but when i try to put it in the terminal it says
    "bash: [sambie@localhost: command not found"

    Heres the full message

    [root@localhost sambie]# [sambie@localhost sambie]$ /home/sambie/
    desktop/et-linux-2.55.x86.run
    bash: [sambie@localhost: command not found
