[QUOTE="y0itsj0hn, post: 730105, member: 53602"] A trojan isn't a virus because it comes hidden as something else, like cool-looking freeware, and then needs admin approval to be installed.. A virus needs no aprroval / admin password / acceptance .. and can kill at will lol So if i, say, accidentally install a trojan onto a computer that's part of a huge network, and it has the ability to spread throughout that network, would that then not be classified as a virus?
