Actually, in most of the cases the infected users have no idea their machines have been contaminated. Indeed, in case you have read about the infamous Trojan war, you will notice that this is what the first Trojan horse from the story actually did. It stealthily entered the city of Troy disguised as a harmless peace proposal gift and the naïve Trojans had no clue it was full of Greek soldiers and their defeat was about to begin. The alias of this malware category comes from this popular ancient story mainly because of the way these viruses normally invade a system and behave afterwards.
