It just means that it can't install it's self without your unwitting help! For example, viruses sent in an email attachment. You have got to open the attachment for it to install it's self. That's why it is important that you scan everything you download before you install it or scan emails before you open them! These kinds of viruses including Trojans and Worms depend entirely on the total complacency of users of the internet to install for them. You know the "It will never happen to me" brigade!
