5. I'm pretty sure he means a "Trojan Horse" program.
That is, one that pretends to be beneficial or at best not harmful to sneak past your computer's security, then goes to town once it's inside.

2. Depends on your point of view
If you're a DUer, he's a virus. If you're a McCain Republican, he's a Trojan horse.

3. Worms are more destructive then just viruses, right? and in some
ancient languages/texts, 'worm' is similar/substitute for 'lizard', reptile, ie Satan.

7. Trojan.
A lot of people believe his outward appearances, not realizing what his actual behavior is.
