Why did they call it a Trojan Virus?
They call it a Trojan Virus because during the Trojan War in
Greece, the Trojans created a wooden horse to trick their enemies,
the Greeks. The horse is a gift from the Sea God, Poseidon. Seeing
this, they marveled and took it inside their walls, then, in the
dead of night, the Trojans, who were in the horse, attacked Greece,
causing the fall of that city. The Trojan Virus does the same
thing, it looks like something you might be interested in, but
really, it's a virus. Hence the name "Trojan" because they invaded
using a horse. It looked like one thing, but was another.
