Ok ! I know what a trojan/worm is and i know what a zombie is and that, but i don't know what certain trojans e.t.c try to do ? eg,change settings or key logger ? if it's polyformic can it restart disguised as another icon/file ?

I ask because today my AVG stopped a virus, Trojan horse Generic12.ACVL, that tried to attach itself to my Adobe reader 9 setup.exe file through the Adobe Installer pack.

It's in the vault so should be safe ?
Anyone familiar with this and know what its prime purpose is ?
Thanks !!! Doodlebug
