I bet that most of you have heard about Windows Vista, the successor to Windows XP. What I don't think most people know is that it's actually an acronym.

VISTA = Viruses, Infections, Spyware, Trojans, Adware

"Trojans are programs (often malicious) that install themselves or run surreptitiously on a victim's machine. They do not install or run automatically, but may entice users into installing or executing by masquerading as another program altogether (such as a game or a patch) or they may be packaged with hacked legitimate programs that install the trojan when the host program is executed..." --Courtesy of the voiceanddata.com glossary :-)
