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.
