Tojans and spyware "render computers dead and unusable."????
You are seriously misinformed!!!!!

For one thing, trojan/spyware software by definition works in the background without the victim being aware of it.
It is usually a "call home" type of malicious software that gives no obvious signs to the computer user.

This is also true of many viruses! By definition, a computer virus is any program that is installed without the uses permission that cause any malicious activity and can be passed on to others. A virus can still leave the compuer mostly usable and can often be undetectable for the most part.
Also, a virus can also be a trojan with no obvious signs.


Only the most serious viruses can render a computer dead and/or unusable.

BTW, also by definition, spyware is a trojan!
