The Trojans were not warned of the horse. In fact, they were deceived into believing the horse to be a gift from the defeated Greeks. Sinon, the deceiver, pretended to be angry. He claimed his fellow Greeks had deserted him when they left Troy. In fact, the Greeks had merely pretended to leave Troy in an attempt to trick the Trojans into a sense of false security. The plan worked. After the Trojans brought the horse within the walls of the city, the Greeks needed only to wait for the cover of darkness to attack from within the city.
Cassandra, daughter of king Priam, told the Trojans not to take the wooden horse. Cassandra was not believed because of Apollos gift/curse. He had been infatuated with her so he tried to give her the gift of prophecy, however she shunned him, so at the last minute he changed his gift and made it so her predictions would always be right, but no one would ever believe her.

Why in computing a Trojan is called a Trojan when in reality it should be called a greek. as it was the greeks that hid inside the Trojan horse?
When the Greeks left the wooden horse outside Troy they also left the spy Sinon to be captured by the Trojan forces. Sinon explained to the Trojans that the horse was a charm to get the Greek ships home safely, and that if the Trojans could take the horse inside their city it would protect Troy from future Greek attack. The idea was that the Trojan's claimed the horse as a gift, hoping to benefit from it; but this was what led to the fall of their city. A virus which describes itself as an app plays the same trick: it looks like a gift, but in fact is a poison. So Trojan is the correct term.
How do the Greeks win at troy?
Troy had huge walls built around the city and the Greeks couldn't breach the walls thus they failed to take the city until..they thought of a plan to deceive the Trojans. What the Greeks did was pretend to retreat and sail back to Greece while leaving a large wooden horse behind. The horse was said to be a gift to the goddess Athena (for safe travel home) and a gift to the Trojans for their apparent victory. The Trojans took the Horse into the city and celebrated. Little did they know, that there were Greek soldiers in the Horse waiting. Come nightfall, when everyone was asleep, they left the horse and stormed the gates. They successfully signaled to the Greek fleet (which was hiding offshore) and opened the gates. What followed was the sacking of Troy. If you are more interested in reading about the Trojan war, I recommend you read "The odyssey" or watch the movie Troy, starring Brad Pitt and Eric Bana.
