Trojan

Malware disguised as legitimate software that tricks users into installing it. Unlike viruses and worms, trojans do not self-replicate. They rely on social engineering to spread. Once installed, trojans can steal data, install backdoors, log keystrokes, or give attackers remote control of the system.
