Another way to get infected is opening infected local scripts in your PC. But if your PC is secured with good antivirus and antispyware (I recommend Super anti spyware, it's free and catches almost everything), you won't have any problem. Another way to be safe is to use your PC as an user, not as admin. Do regular backups, make restoration points just in case and you're covered. This applies to everything, not just this trojan, of course.
Alternatively, for further security don't save Filezilla passwords, and use any password tool or simply copy and paste when needed, but if you follow the steps above you'll be probably safe
