What is a Trojan horse?

What will be an ideal response?


A Trojan horse is a subprogram (hidden in a program) that contains a virus, bomb, or other harmful fea¬ture. These often masquerade as inviting attachments that offer harmless software upgrades, help files, screen savers, or pornography. When users open the attachment, a secret program steals their password and mails it back to the cracker, and then that outgoing message is deleted from the victim’s email outbox.
