    That’s not true. A Trojan is a virus disguised as something else to trick your victim. Am I the only one that messed with their friends with ones like sub7 and stuff like 30 years ago? Lol

        No, they’re wrong. They were wrong as soon as they said a Trojan you have to install yourself, which is exactly how it works. It can’t work if you weren’t tricked into installing it. The Trojan doesn’t have to cause harm it’s called a Trojan based on the way it has to be deployed.
