RE: Trojans!!!
Answers:

1.depends what sort of trojan it is.,but just because something is in qurantine doesnt mean it cannot do its job..
also depends on what sort of Security program it is to actually see how reliable the qurantine is.
2.personally i would delete it.
(but I have reg mechanic to fix any registry keys that may get ousted during the deletion process)
.but still if you would like some more help with this..no one can really tell you what to do until you tell us what trojan you have ..

one step at a time

what trojan is it?
what security programs do you have?

after it finds it it asks you what you want to do..then you press "delete  the found problems" and it does that ..sorry i wasnt specific with step by step instructions..
I honestly thought that you would read the instructions after you downloaded it.
if it helps look on the top toolbar thats the one accross the top
it tells you exactly what to do
also if you read the instructions on set up or read the tutorial you can see exactly step by step how to use ewido
it not only scans but it also pinpoints the problems and also helps you get rid of them.

good luck:)
