I'm talking theoretically here; I won't talk about anything illegal.
It's hard to make a trojan, what most people do is take an already existing trojan (for example Sub7) and mod it for your own needs...But making one from scratch is some nifty programming...

Hmmm... but then what if he makes a new one that hasn't been seen before and Norton fails to pic it up?

In that unlikely case, Norton may pick it up, it has an advanced search that allows it to pick up files that act like trojans. They all have similar scripts, and Norton should pick them up...

If you havent updated the definitions then there is a major security hole there, also your firewall should block it (if you have one)

What if he had my IP adress? I know how he can easily get it. In fact, assume that he has it. He has it.

if he has your IP address that wont be too much of a problem, unless your pc is infected with a trojan

Um, no I use Internet Explorer.

Oh and as for him being a friend... he's my good friend/arch enemy... but that's not the point of this topic.

...I don't think I clicked save password, I hope I wouldn't be that stupid. So either he

a) Hacked my hotmail like he said
b) sent a Trojan (he's done it before)
c) guessed it.

Ruling out C because he couldn't have guessed it.
