What is the name of a virus that appears to be legitimate program?
A Trojan Horse. Trojan Horse programs disguise themselves as legitimate programs and then infect your computer when you download them unwittingly, expecting to get a cool new PC game or such. They run malicious processes in the backround without you knowing and generally open up a backdoor or trapdoor to the Internet to download more viruses on your computer without your permission. Usually you can find Trojans by looking on Task Manager. You may find names of programs you don't know or have weird names. Be careful when taskkilling programs, one may end up being useful.

Do you mean "what is a cryptogram virus?". If the answer is yes, then i have your solution. Cryptogram viruses are very dangerous viruses that infect your computer and then encrypt it, so that nothing, not even the Operating System, can read your computer except for the virus. Cryptogram viruses count as ransomware, which is a type of malware that after infection, the creator of the virus demands that you pay them a rather large sum of money in order to unlock your computer from the virus' grip. If you don't pay them the money, they will hack your computer regardless and basically rob you of everything if they are that skilled. Generally, they are not. Just be careful of what your download off the Internet (Rule #1 to keeping your computer virus free).
Never connect to the internet, never download to or from a device that has been connected to another computer or the internet. Always use genuine software. Never use secondhand software or software from an unknown origin.
