    A trojan you have to install yourself (by accepting a malicious MDM profile) is not a trojan…

      That’s not true. A Trojan is a virus disguised as something else to trick your victim. Am I the only one that messed with their friends with ones like sub7 and stuff like 30 years ago? Lol

        No, he is correct. A program is only similar to (not equal to) a trojan if it is a corporate MDM installed, knowing the risks, since it is not intentionally corrupting files or causing harm. Spyware, yes, but not trojan.
