Some people say that a Trojan horse is an example of a virus. However, that is not completely true. It does have some similarities with a virus.
Named after the giant Greek wooden horse, a Trojan horse enters your computer system as a disguised friendly program. When it is activated, it can delete files from your computer. In addition, it can create an easy access for computer hackers to get onto your e-mails and files. Trojan horses can surprise your computer with harmful and nasty damages. Unlike viruses, it cannot replicate itself.
