Trojan Horse

A Trojan Horse is a program the disguises itself as being harmless. The name Trojan Horse comes from the little "peace offering" the Greeks made to the Trojans in the mythological account of the Trojan War. To get a better visual, rent the movie Troy with Brad Pitt and watch how the slaughter of the sleeping Trojans takes place after they accept this "gift". Interestingly, the Trojan Horse is one of the oldest known malware type applications.

Some of the most common ways of getting a Trojan Horse installed on your computer include:

Downloading what appears to be a useful application from an unknown source.
Participating in Peer to Peer applications such as Kazaa.
Opening an email attachment that appears to be harmless from someone that you don't recognize.

Just like the men of Agamemmon (the Greek general in the Iliad for those not familiar with the name), the Trojan Horse goes on a stealthy rampage of infection throughout your computer system. These malicious programs often accomplish their task of deleting and stealing personal data found on your computer. If you are like most computer users, you probably have some banking and tax information stored on your computer. Imagine that in the hands of a thief!

Trojan Horse Virus

Often you hear the name "Trojan Horse" in the same sentence as "virus". In reality, unlike a computer virus, a Trojan Horse does not replicate itself. The user will start the replication process by unknowingly giving this helpful utility to their friends via email or diskette thinking they have come across something useful they want to share with acquaintances.
