What is the name of the horse the USC Trojan rides?
The University of Southern California's official mascot is Traveler the white horse.
(The following is an excerpt taken from the official USC website. http://www.usctrojans.com/trads/usc-m-fb-mas.html)
Traveler, the noble white horse that appears at all USC home football games with a regal Trojan warrior astride, is one of the most famous college mascots.
Traveler first made an appearance at USC football games in 1961 (in the home opener versus Georgia Tech). Bob Jani, then USC's director of special events, and Eddie Tannenbaum, then a junior at USC, had spotted Richard Saukko riding his white horse, Traveler I, in the 1961 Rose Parade. They persuaded Saukko to ride his white horse around the Coliseum during USC games, serving as a mascot. Ever since, whenever USC scores, the band plays "Conquest" and Traveler gallops around the Coliseum.
The university its self got the nickname "Trojans" many years earlier, due to the fighting spirit of it's athletes in the face of superior colleges.

I am assuming that the question is "what is a scam virus?" A scam virus is usually in the form of an email from someone you may know or not with a title such as VIRUS Alert etc. It will then go on to describe some form of destructive sounding program that will destroy your files etc. One famous one is the teddy bear virus where users we told to navigate to a particular file in their windows system that had a teddy bear icon and delete it. This file was in fact an authentic MS Windows file. My advice is whenever you get an email of any sort like this don't act on it until you have gone to one of the major anti virus software sites (Symantec, Trend, CA etc) and check out their current threat library and their scam virus library. Their are many types of these scams that are sent around mostly to waste time (yours) and to inconvenience the users as well.

This also relates to other scams going around such as the deadly new spider found email etc. All can be found to be scams using a search from your favorite search engine.
