You know it by many names..Mos t common Trojan or spyware.These programs spoofs users and convince them to download the program and with them comes the virus.For Example:

  1. A guy send you a game Chess.exe
  2. You download it thinking of playing it[ofcourse]
  3. When you click on the file setup runs
  4. Setup completes and you play the game
  5. BUT you missed a thing...When setup was running, along the program Trojan was being installed in background.
  6. Your computer is infected

Thereby never download a file from unkown person and scan it using online scanners
