Dangerous Trojan used to be a real trojan, but now you’ll see “Dangerous Trojan” advertised by rogue anti-spyware programs, such as Files Secure 2.2 and IEDefender. Rogue — or fake — antispyware programs will popup fake critical system error messages saying:

“System Error! Your system was infected by dangerous Trojan.
Note: Your critical files can be lost! Click OK to download antimalware application to clean your system! (Recommended)”

Dangerous Trojan isn’t really what you’re infected with — you’re infected with a fake anti-spyware program that’s popping up false security alerts to scare you into buying the fake anti-spyware.
