What is the difference between trojan horse and virus in terms of computers ?
Answer:
A trojan, sometimes referred to as a trojan horse, is non-self-replicating malware that
appears to perform a desirable function for the user but instead facilitates unauthorized
access to the user’s computer system. The term is derived from the trojan horse story in
greek mythology.
A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infact a computer. A
true virus can only spread from one computer to another.
The chief difference between a trojan horse and a virus is that a trojan horse does not
replicate itself. A virus does. 1
