Trojan horse
|
Trojan horse - Malicious software disguised as a legitimate computer file or program. The Anna Kournikova worm is an example: the e-mail attachment appears to be a .jpg file containing a picture of the tennis star, but is actually a worm that, when activated, attempts to spread itself through e-mail. Named after the mythical wooden horse the Greek army used to sneak soldiers into the city of Troy. Also called Trojans.
