I don't know what you mean by trojan, but you can search for comment spam to see how to prevent it.

trojans attack my gallery :(

Oh yeah, really? You mean, the inhabitants of the city of Troy rowed all the way over from Turkey, entered your webhosts building and raised the Jolly Roger flag? ;D

Look: a Trojan is a piece of malicious software (usually on desktop systems) that does bad things without the user noticing it. Trojans usually spread like viruses (over email, network shares etc.).
What you have are not Trojans, but comments posted by some jerk (or rather, a bot programmed by some jerk) that just display silly links on your page that maybe send you to pages where viruses or Trojans are being spread. You don't call this Trojans, you call this comment spam. Just delete the silly comments and make sure that this doesn't happen any more by applying the methods suggested by TranzNDance.
Please read up the atricles I posted to find out what Trojans are and what not, it might be irritating for others that you insist on using those terms in relation to a web gallery script.

Don't bother to insist that it's Trojans that attack your site, or I'll insist that aliens hijacked me and that I'm truely Elvis Presley in disguise. Hey no, wait a sec - I'm John F. Kennedy. ;D

@dke: If you want guests to post comments, you can install a captcha mod.  It helps prevent bots from posting.  Check the plugins board.
Do not send me a private message unless I ask for one.  Make your post public so everyone can benefit.

There are no stupid questions
But there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots
