I've cut it down like this

a virus is any type of unwanted software, including Trojans, Worms,
Viruses spyware etc etc. (By the same definition Windows is a virus
but never mind....) These days it does not actually matter because
most Viruses that people catch are a lot more than just Viruses, even
hi breeds that fit under more than one title.

Bit like a cat is a small house cat where as a lion is a lion even
though it is also a cat.....

One persons Rubbish is a another persons treasurer.

Regards

Peter.
