Well that's the whole point of a Trojan. Is to make you think you are actually doing something useful, yet the payload is a virus, thus compromising your system.
It's not a self-propagating worm.

Also, I read some where that the firewall is not turned on by default in Leopard. So you will have to turn it on for you Leopard users.
Not sure about other versions of Mac OS.
