It may not be a Trojan. A Google search shows many have had the same problem since a February Windows update.

One easy thing to try is to disable Cortana =

Ctrl/alt/del to go to task manager
Click the Startup tab
Right click on Cortana and disable it.

I'm not sure what you'll lose by having it disabled. If it turns out to be significant then maybe there's another fix. Or maybe that won't fix it!

The Microsoft bug will probably be fixed in a future update...
