By typing "difference trojan virus" into Google, this came up as the
first hit. Easy when you know how?

Remember what newsgroup this is. The OP may not even know what Google is.
Seriously.

Knowing Kath from other places online, I think that she was being helpful
and not critical. It would be nice if these messages could contain voice
inflection. :)

Thanks, Sharon. My message was supposed to have a smiley at the end, but
I hit send before I had remembered to insert. We are all human and
fallible?
And I agree, voice and tone would help. It was meant to be suggestive to
search Google, I admit I could have said more about how to do just that?

Based upon your holier-than-thou response, I'd suggest you've achieved that
'status' now
