Hi,

A Trojan Virus is a form of computer malware that infects your computer through by disguising itself as a useful file or program that you download, open, or install. Normally they are installed by user's on purpose without being aware that a Trojan Virus will be infecting your computer. I've seen a lot of friends get them from P2P file sharing networks embedded in MP-3's, movies, and even games. Once you have the Trojan installed, it will normally deliver a "payload" to your computer that is another virus, spyware, or adware. The Zlob trojan is one that I see from P2P networks a lot. Some Trojans can also have destructive behavior, but these are more of a hybrid virus than a true Trojan that requires user action to spread.

Here's a link for more info. Cheers, James
