What, exactly, does it do?  --- sorry to be dumb about this, but 'trojan'
means too many different things to different people for me to be sure
what you mean here.  Does it provide a backdoor to folk to access your
system?  Can they do *ANYTHING* via that back door?

[I guess what I'm saying here is that the way I use the terminology, it
was obvious it was a trojan: since it pretended to be an ICQ beta and
clearly wasn't and did _something_ [my definition of a trojan]... what
I'm not clear on is what *payload* the trojan delivered...  Thanks!
