Can an .exe file become contaminated with a Trojan.?

I think it's false positive myself. I saw the Prevx but that is the only one that said it's a worm and no where else say it's a trojan or malware. Malware these days will target the registry to change the parameters, deposit files in System32 and documents and settings, modifying certain system files, ending running processes of your security programs, preventing you from going to security websites, so that they can deposit more malware, steal sensitive details, siphoning bank accounts, taking control of your computer and more. There are polymorphic file infectors which infects all .exe like Virut or Sality. But, I doubt that malware creators would target a program which is TurboNotes.

You can submit the sample to Norton and they will verify it for you. Also you can upload the file to Jott''s malware scan and Virus Total and see what they say.

Yes, an .exe file means it can be executed. This is mainly in installers. Some viruses/malware may be attached onto the .exe file. When executed, it causes the virus to be present, most likely, resulting in a rogue antivirus. Try scanning with virustotal.com. Upload your file (if you can) and it will submit if it is a virus or not from 40 different security programs.

i grew to become right into a sufferer of this virus two times!!, that's going to infect all of exe documents on your laptop, in case you inquire from me what i did, i reformatted all of my drives then reinstalled a clean homestead windows :-(, (next time be sure you have a anti virus or internet risk-free practices classes put in)

It's possible. I would first check to see if the file has been recently modified or changed. You can also check it on virustotal.com

YES.... It definitely can
