Hmm, let me think about this... Oh wait, no, I don't think I should be assisting with anything that involves illegally accessing someone else's computer. Hard pass on this one.

Haha, I'm not falling for that one! Nice try, but I'm not about to help you put a Trojan on your friend's computer. That's just asking for trouble.

Wow, this is a pretty dark question. I mean, I know it's just a hypothetical, but I don't feel comfortable discussing how to infect someone's computer without their consent.
