I thought a trojan, as in trojan horse, is a "normal" program that when it
is executed spawns another program that infects the system it is executing
on in what ever manner. I am somewhat more versed in Unix and am under the
understanding that virus's are not a problem in general because of the
difficulty of making an effective one, and that there have been a few
attempts. Since linux is a unix type platform perhaps what holds for
unix holds for linux.
Does anyone have any definitive information of this or can point to an
authorative source for this subject?
