Trojan Horse Virus

• Unlike a traditional virus, Trojan Horse viruses like the MSN connector do not spread themselves. Instead, these viruses disguise themselves as regular software. The MSN connector virus creates a pop-up ad that asks users to provide information about their MSN account. You should never enter information into these pop-up windows.
