A Trojan horse is a program that appears useful at first, but is actually programmed to pass the user's data or access rights (e.g; passwords) to someone else. Trojan horses do not reproduce by infecting other files or by self-replicating like viruses and worms respectively.

When Trojan horse is activated, it typically causes a change in the existing desktop icons or create new ones. It may also delete some important system files. It's main aim, however, is to steal sensitive information stored on the infected computer.
