So what you are saying is that the Virus Kit makes up
two different programs, one: that activates at a certain
time and drops the Virus, and two: the virus it self.
Trojan = A separate program that drops a virus or another
         program.  (eg. Bombs or Virus Dropper ).
Virus = A program that spreads to other files by executing of
        a file which is infected.
How does that look for my defanishion of a Trojan and a Virus.
