A malicious program that disguises itself as a beneficial or entertaining program but that actually damages a computer or installs code that can counteract security measures (perhaps by collecting passwords) or perform other tasks (such as launching a distributed denial of service attack). Unlike a computer virus, a Trojan horse does not replicate itself.
