Hard worker — malicious software (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trojan

I believe this is a double definition.

'hard worker' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'malicious software' is the second definition.
(I know that Trojan is a type of malicious software)

(Other definitions for trojan that I've seen before include "Paris for one" , "Subject of King Priam" , "Dedicated worker" , "Computer threat" , "Of Troy or its people" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
