I quote:

Sobig.F carried a type of "Trojan'' program, so named because it embeds itself on an infected machine and gives the virus writer the capability of controlling the computer from a remote location.

Please don't misuse terms like 'Trojan' in this way - it most definitely is not so-named! I am very surprised at you, ZD-Net!

Chris.
