It is an advance form of phishing. Kindly read my previous post on normal phishing here before proceeding.Difference between phishing and desktop phishing is as follows.
In phishing :-

1. Attacker convinces the victim to click on the link of fake login page which resembles a genuine login page.
2.Victim enters his credentials in fake login page that goes to attacker.
3.Victim is then redirected to an error page or genuine website depending on attacker.
But main drawback in phishing is that victim can easily differentiate between fake and real login page by looking at the domain name. We can overcome this in desktop phishing by spoofing domain name.
