Payload: payload is the English name for the payload of a virus (in the literal sense).
The release of the payload may be associated with a condition, known as the payload triggers. Since some researchers see also the use of system resources and bandwidth
as the payload, the definition of loss function is controversial.

Trojans : The name Trojan horse is similar to the historical model and describes a program that pretends the user to have a specific and desired function. In addition, Trojans, however, contain a hidden program portion which, as it opens a back door to infected computers and
granted almost full access to the affected system - without the user noticing.
The methods of trojans to hide are here
almost unlimited. Thus, these insidious programs are often sent as screen savers or games via e-mail.
A unique enough already started and the malware infects the system.
Update: The term "update" are called updates of data and programs (eg, software, antivirus data, databases). For example, users have the G Data Security Software the opportunity to regularly update anti-virus signatures via the Internet

But the anti-virus software does take them with a software update to the latest version.
Virtual : The virtual is called an environment if they are not on the real life (RL, English real life.) Is based, but is generated by the computer. Confusingly, this is referred to virtual reality (VR).
