In computing, a Trojan horse, or Trojan, is anymalicious computer program which misleads users of its true intent. The term is derived from the Ancient Greek story of the deceptivewooden horse that led to the fall of the city ofTroy.
Trojans are generally spread by some form ofsocial engineering, for example where a user is duped into executing an e-mail attachment disguised to be unsuspicious, (e.g., a routine form to be filled in), or by drive-by download. Although their payload can be anything, many modern forms act as a backdoor, contacting a controller which can then have unauthorized access to the affected computer
