Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A Trojan is a program that disguises itself as a legitimate application but actually has malicious code embedded within it. It is often advertised as performing one activity (such as a game or utility) but once downloaded and executed, it can perform various harmful activities such as stealing sensitive information or allowing unauthorized access to the victim's computer system. Scripts, viruses, and worms are other types of malicious software but do not necessarily disguise themselves in the same way as a Trojan.
