Why trojans are often called viruses...
| Definition "VIRUS": A virus is a programm that adds itself to a file and forms a modified .exe-file - that's why you can't recognize it as a virus file at first sight or remove from the file system. The most common charactaristic of a virus is that it is able to spread itself on its own impulse when it has been activated; further distribution occurs by copying infected files over networks - for example per email. Viruses can delete or change files/data, to delete them efficiently the boot sequence has to be eliminated out of the infected executable file. |
Definition "TROJAN": The primary difference between virus and trojan is that trojans don't spread on their own. A trojan is a standalone program that makes certain areas of interest for other users/computers on the internet available. Therefore it has to be run at every system reboot, what's done by autorun keys in the system registry. A trojan is an .exe file that hides somewhere in the system but in the opposite to viruses it removable manually - if you know how to do it. |
