[edit] Hmm

There are probably thousands of different trojan horses. Some which not widely used etc, some custom written etc, some maybe not in wild, etc...


The link at the bottom megasecurity.org seems to lead to a fake site or something. Not enough info. can somebody look at it.

The link seems to be valid, I found a list of trojans on the website. Though the doesnt give a professional impression and dont look very good, maybe it could be replaced with a more serious site. -- Frap 03:36, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Is it even possible to make a complete list of trojans? New ones are constantly released, and if you're looking for a specific one you'd check its article, not a list. Delete? --Stretch 04:31, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Given that this is an encyclopedia and not a computer help site, I'd say only the most notable trojans should be listed. 24.126.199.129 19:19, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pokemon virus?

I read this one thing, I think it was from a World magazine publication, that was about this one trojan that I think was called Pokemon.exe that spread through email. It was supposed to be a Pokemon video game but when people ran it it messed up their computers.

Also, there's another nasty trojan called BIONES that pretends to be an Emulator for the Nintendo Entertainment System but instead messes up Windows XP machines. --69.243.255.130 16:11, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
