Best Answer

A "trojan horse" is not a virus; it's a type of malware that may be spread like a virus.

It hides within other programs, or pretends to be a trusted program, but it is really malicious software. Like the Trojan Horse in the Iliad, it secretly does damage once you mistakenly let it into your computer system. It can be used to steal information from the computer.

A Trojan virus can wreak havoc and cause a lot of damage to your computer. It can infiltrate your hard drive and corrupt various files. It also can contain keylogger programs which can gain access to highly sensitive information stored on your computer.
