A Trojan Horse Virus is different. It comes disguised in an email and when you click on a link contained in the email or open a file that is attached to the message, your personal data is sent to the email sender. Trojan Horse Viruses are also sent through chat messengers.
Once a Trojan Horse Virus gains access into your computer, it can even send itself to your contacts. The developer of this malicious program can use personal information to buy goods on the Internet, or send threatening messages to world Presidents, or reset email accounts, or whatever.
So, both Trojan Viruses as well as Trojan Horse programs are extremely dangerous and you must be careful about what you’re clicking or downloading.
