Trojan?!?!? Sounds like a one-liner to me.
ATTENTION, DO NOT TRY THIS!
Purely exemplary:
rm# -rfd $home
ATTENTION, DO NOT TRY THIS!
I think it's sad that someone would do such a thing.
P.S. You should probably add an alias to your .tcsh file and link rm to rm -i
if you are worried about this kind of thing.
Responding to Martin Joseph's comment:

||A Macworld reader alerted the magazine to the malware after he
||downloaded the file from Limewire. The reader told Macworld: "I
||downloaded the file in the hope that perhaps Microsoft had released
||some sort of public beta. The file unzipped, and to my delight the
||Microsoft icon looked genuine and trustworthy."
||
||However, he added: "I clicked on the installer file, and to my horror
||in 10 seconds the attachment had wiped my entire Home folder!"
