                                                                       Trojan horse


Trojan horses are malwares that try to deceive computer users by pretending to be a harmless and useful computer program and then insidiously start their malicious activities after being installed on a computer.

Some Trojan horses carry out very harmful activities like destroying computer files or stealing passwords.

Trojan horses are unable to reproduce (unlike computer worms and viruses).
