I heard from a friend of mine not too long ago that he got a Trojan horse on his PC. What exactly is a Trojan horse? [br]

A Trojan horse is referred to as a malicious program that acts like an application. The Trojan horse is not a virus but it still can do damage. It works by purposefully doing something you would not expect. It forces the computer to act strangely. [br][br]A Trojan is not listed as a virus simply because the Trojan horse does not replicate itself. But it can create a nuisance and cause unheard of damage to the PC like screw up applications, or force applications to perform differently from their intended purpose, or to cause the application to fail altogether.
