    1. [QUEEN] Trojan Horse virus
    2. LOOK OUT...... I beleave it was Last week ? I unknowingly downloaded a Trojan Horse virus. ( A Trojan Horse is a computer program designed to look like something fun or attractive -- like a game or screen saver -- but its true purpose is completely different. ) Trojan Horses are distributed as files attached to an e-mail message, which is why America Online (AOL) recommends you never download a file sent to you in e-mail by someone you don't know. For example, some Trojan Horse programs are frauds designed to send your AOL password to another person. This gives that person access to your account. And your Password are anything they want. To learn more about the dangers of Trojan Horse viruses, or other computer viruses, please visit the following areas: Computer Protection Center at Keyword: VIRUS and the AOL Neighborhood Watch at Keyword: NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, where you can find lots of online safety tips.
