	Trojan horse (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trojan horse programs cannot operate autonomously, in contrast to some other types of malware, like viruses or worms.
		In practice, Trojan Horses in the wild often contain spying functions (such as a packet sniffer) or backdoor functions that allow a computer, unbeknownst to the owner, to be remotely controlled from the network, creating a "zombie computer".
		A simple example of a trojan horse would be a program named "pr0n.jpg.exe" claiming to be a pornographic picture file from a website which, when run, instead begins erasing all the files on the computer.

	Wooden Horse, Greek Mythology Link.
		That horse, Odysseus advised, was to be left abandoned in the plain, and the Achaean army should burn the tents and sail away to Tenedos (the island off the Troad), so that the Trojans, believing that the invaders were gone, should come to the deserted Achaean camp and find the horse.
		Crouching beneath its shadow, as Odysseus said, a man should be left to tell the Trojans a single deceiving line: that the Achaeans had sailed home, and that the horse was their offering to Athena, to appease her wrath because of the theft of the Palladium, so that she should grant a safe return.
		When the horse was ready, the Achaeans let the best among them hide inside it, burned their tents, and leaving only Sinon behind, sailed away either to Tenedos or to cape Sigeum where they were to wait for a signal from the same Sinon.
