Most of trojans have more than one name.
It's because different security software name them differently. Once some new Trojan is noticed, different anti-spyware manufacturers try to define what files belongs to it. When they got that they can remove the Trojan, but they need to name the Trojan to display something in detected threats list. Sometimes Trojan creators name their "products" like "trojantrojan.exe", but anti-spyware creator can call the Trojan differently like "email Trojan 2" and another anti-spyware manufacturers can cal it "troj.email.2".
It's basically because every manufacturer has its own "names system". But lately there are ideas to make a common "name system" to ease the information for both users and security software manufacturers.
What else can I help you with?
Was Trojan religion the same as either Greek or Roman religion?
Trojan religion is more of Greek religion. Since the story has depicted that the Greeks were the ones who defeated the Trojans. But if you ask if it is the same with Roman, there is a possibility. Because in some mythology books as they write the story of the Trojan War, they use the Roman names of the Gods.
What were the people of ancient troy called?
They were called Trojan's because Troy....Trojan's....? does it sound the same?
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.
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.
Who came up with the Trojan war horse idea?
A Trojan Horse is a giant wood horse that was given to the enemy. They thought it was a gift, until they were attacked by their enemies. The same goes for the virus, it seems harmless at first until your computer is destroyed.
What are some examples of computer Trojans?
Trojans are pretty much the same as you installing a key logger program on your own computer to see what others are typing. Its just someone besides you wanting to know what you are typing. If you are running a ghost key logger program on your computer your antivirus will pick it up as a Trojan
Why are some computer viruses called Trojans?
Hidden malicious programs (most are not viruses) are called "Trojans" from the story of the Trojan Horse, from the war between Greece and the city of Troy, as written in Virgil's Aeneidand referenced in Homer's The Odyssey. The trojan horse was a threat masquerading as a gift. Similarly, trojan programs seem innocuous, but are designed to damage your computer or use it for harmful purposes.---In the Trojan War, one side was the Greeks and the other was the people from Troy. They were fighting for this beautiful queen, Helen, wife of Menelaus. Eventually the Greeks saw that the Trojans were winning the war, so they devised a very clever plan: they would create a giant wooden horse (because the Trojans worshiped horses) and then leave it behind as they left, pretending to give up. The wooden horse would be a peace offering. The Trojans accepted it, took it into the city walls, and then they partied at night and got drunk. After the Trojans were sleeping, Greek soldiers hiding inside the hollow wooden horse got out and opened the city gates of Troy to let their much larger army inside. Because the Trojans were caught off guard and drunk, they had no choice but to surrender and the Greeks won the war.Trojan Horse programs work in the same way. They disguise themselves as legitimate programs or files. When you accept to download them, they infect your computer and run malicious processes in the background without you knowing. They often really do have the program that you intended to download, but they also come with a virus or something else to corrupt your computer. Hence the name, Trojan Horse or Trojan.
Is a Trojan a computer program that seems to perform one function while actually doing something else?
Yes. It's analogous with the Trojan Horse story from Greek mythology, where the Trojans secrete themselves within a large wooden horse left as a "gift" to the Greeks, thus gaining entry to the Greek stronghold. A Trojan program works the same way. The "gift horse" relies on social engineering to entice you to install the payload upon your system by offering you a popular software package for free. Torrent websites are a common source of Trojans -- for obvious reasons.
Were the Greeks and the Trojans the same people?
The Trojans were not Greeks, though their culture is believed to have been similar.
Why did the Greeks decide to build the Trojan horse?
The NON MYTH version is that the Greek soldier and leader of the Greek army, Ulysses(Ulysses=Latin Version Odysseus=Greek Version, Same person) had thought of the idea to build the Trojan Horse to sneak inside the city with the Trojans thinking it was a gift from the "GODS". The MYTH version is that Athena gave Ulysses the idea to build the horse and it is just the same from then on.
