Trojan horse
A malicious programme that pretends to be a benign application. It does not replicate but causes damage or compromises the security of your computer. Typically, an individual emails a Trojan horse to you; it does not email itself. You can also download a Trojan from a website or via peer-to-peer networking. Trojans are not considered viruses because they do not replicate.
