Trojan Horse

How a Trojan virus penetrates weak computer defenses in the form of a computer virus, which attacks a pc, laptop, network or wireless network, causing all types of computer problems.

Which may appear as a legitimate piece of software (or be hidden somewhere within). When you understand the origin of the term Trojan, the idea of a Trojan horse virus makes a lot more sense.

History of the Trojan Horse

The story of the Trojan horse has been around since ancient times. During the Trojan War between the Greeks and the Trojans, the Greeks tricked the Trojans into accepting a fake truce offering in the form of a giant wooden horse, which was taken inside the fortified walls of the city of Troy. Little did the Trojans know that a group of Greek soldiers was hiding within the horse, waiting for the right moment to reveal themselves and allow the rest of the Greek army to penetrate their enemy’s defense.
