Is there really a type of malware/virus that isn’t considered a trojan?

172 viewsOtherTechnology

All I hear people talking about when it comes to malware is trojan, trojan, trojan. I can’t think of any program that would be considered malware/virus without being a trojan, because as far as I’m aware, people don’t purposefully download malware unless it is to sandbox and test for what it does. So are there any programs that are legitimately not a trojan?

Trojan is a delivery mechanism. There are multiple ways to get malware on a system.

Someone could physically be at your machine and install it.

There could be a known vulnerability in a piece of software that allows an attacker to install malware.
