Trojan horse or Trojan

[ink]

I found Type of threat on Symantec web a little confusing, one of the threat name is "Trojan Horse", the type is "Trojan", "Downloader" type is "Trojan Horse"
"Infostealer.Banker.B" type is "Trojan Horse", "Infostealer.Banker.C" type is "Trojan"

Can anyone can explain the difference between "Trojan" and "Trojan Horse"?

There's no difference: Trojan horse (computing) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_horse_(computing))
