Can someone please tell me the difference between a virus and a trojan horse, because I may know my tech stuff, but I am not perfect. Thanks.

When you see ‘trojan’ think Trojan horse - you let the bad guys inside usually by falling for a trick.

When you see ‘virus’ think cold. It self-replicates and spreads by contact (the network).
