    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

      Do you know how most viruses and Trojans work? Because I can guarantee they don’t just show up on your computer magically.

      I agree with your sentiment, but it’s still a Trojan.

      It just requires you to bypass all of the “do not do this unless you know what you’re doing” warnings to go through the very obviously risky process to be able to install the Trojan.
